Reopen schools on December 9, just over 2 weeks before Christmas amid the second wave of coronavirus? It would be a “boomerang”, according to Professor Massimo Galli, head of the Department of Infectious Diseases at the Sacco Hospital in Milan, also without the fact that “after the great emergency shutdown in recent months – he stresses – we have sensationally spoiled the containment of the infection.
Precisely because of these failures in containment, as well as in tracking infections, Professor Galli, without questioning the work of school workers, teachers and school personnel, in an interview with The impression underlines how “now we certainly cannot say that there are sufficient guarantees” for the return to the counters, also because “reopening too early to close would be an even worse setback”, because during a week or two of activity it could bring new infections.
Despite the words of Professor Franco Locatelli, president of the Higher Health Council, who reiterated that the school contributes “in an absolutely marginal way to the SarsCov2 transmission curve,” the head of Sacco remains deeply “skeptical” about the reopening. Because in addition to the characteristics that favor infections within school buildings, we must “talk about everything that exists before and after school.” And Galli highlights two of the weaknesses of the school’s reopening process: “Full transportation and meetings in front of the gates inevitably play a role in contagion.”
The President of the Presidi Association: «First we have to increase transport and monitoring. And there are still teachers missing “
Yes, because the transport node does not seem to have dissolved in recent months, as Antonello Giannelli, president of the Association of Rectors, also highlighted, who reiterates: “We need more vehicles and more drivers and integrate the public system with the private one.” To reopen schools for teaching, Giannelli adds to The impression, the infection tracing time must also be shortened, as well as filling the gaps that exist in the teaching staff: “in some schools there are still 30% of teachers missing.”
And if greater pressure has been created around the government for the reopening of schools by the 5 Star Movement (following that of the Minister of School, Lucía Azzolina), as well as by the Italia Viva front, the Minister of Health, Roberto Esperanza said it was a possibility, but with due caution: «We will do everything possible to reopen schools in December. We have to see the epidemiological picture, evaluate it day by day, but schools are and continue to be an absolute priority for the government ”.
But what remains, for the moment, is a photograph that seems to return us to the situation already experienced between the end of August and the beginning of September, without – almost – nothing having changed or implemented to allow students to return to Teaching face-to-face. And suspicion – shared in The impression of the national coordinator of the network of high school students, Federico Allegretti, is that the school wants to reopen more for reasons of “image” than for reasons of substance. Stores open for Christmas shopping and schools closed? A contradiction. But a contradiction that could be costly.
