On the resumption of school activities for all students, the government does not seem to have a single idea. If on the part of Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and the Minister of Education, Lucia Azzolina, there is optimism for the return to class of at least 50% of the students on January 7, there is more caution on the part of other representatives of the executive. Among those who argue that we should not rush is Deputy Minister of Health Pierpaolo Sileri, of the 5 Star Movement.

Sileri: the rush just for the vaccine

Interviewed by Radio Cusano Campus, during the broadcast ‘Italy has awakened’, Sileri said that the school is “a safe environment, everything that surrounds the school must also be safe. One thing is certain, we don’t have to run from this point of view, the only thing we have to look for is the vaccine when it arrives ”.

“We must continue to monitor – he continued – because I believe that There will be a resurgence of cases from the second week of January – we must be prepared to take some steps back in case the virus rears its head ”.

New “stratta” on the way?

The words of the Undersecretary of Health seem clear: if infections rose, a new “grip” would be found.

In practice, social restrictions would be re-implemented: the same as according to a study by the Higher School of Economics and Health Systems Management of the Catholic University led to having the second wave of Covid-19 with many more infections and victims than the first.

And if this scenario were to play out, high schools would certainly not be exempt from the new limits imposed. Especially if the means of transport keep making students travel in crowded cars.
