With 2020 now behind us Italy gets under way, but the handbrake is still on. Prudence and restrictions accompany the start of the new year with the hope, as the president of the Higher Health Council Franco Locatelli wished, that it will be the one in which the country can emancipate itself from the tragedy of the pandemic.
After the red holiday train, starting on January 7, when the band system will return for the regions, the country will try to restart. The forecast was that the regions would restart from where they left off, thus all in the yellow band with the exception of the Abruzzo orange. The latest data, however, with the Rt growing and the positivity rate steadily rising to 14.1%, it overshadows the reopening of shops, bars and restaurants to the public. Veneto, Liguria and Calabria with the Rt above 1 run the risk of not leaving the red zone me Puglia, Basilicata and Lombardy at least they could end in that orange. The government’s decision is expected next week, based on the new report from the Istituto Superiore di Sanità.

In school, the scheme provides 50% return at the counters for high school students, this is the go-ahead from the prefects. Even if, on the basis of local measures decided by the provincial boards, a start of teaching is expected in the presence of a leopard spot. “Even if all the tables have in fact completed their work reaching the objectives, – he explains Agostino Miozzo, coordinator of the Scientific Technical Committee on Coronavirus – probably, not everyone has already found the ideal solutions. But it’s okay, the important thing is that we start over. ” Florence Mayor Dario Nardella announced that the city, thanks to a plan that provides for an increase in extra-urban means of transport, administrators at stops and at school exits, would be ready to return students to 75%, in Campania the Back to School will run in stages from January 11-25.
A Rome, as in other cities, I waited for him instead staggering of entry times, 40% of the students must enter at 8 am and 60% at 10 am, with departures at 1:30 pm and 3:30 pm, and on Saturday the entrance at 8 am A solution that, however , does not satisfy the directors. “What in my opinion did not go well in some provinces – says the president of the ANP, Antonello Giannelli – was the extreme rigidity with which schools were forced to practice this staggering and prioritizing transportation needs over from school. This system will compromise the quality of the students’ studies. “
Among the measures implemented is the one foreseen in Piedmont, of the carpet screening offered to teachers and students from upper secondary schools. Solution welcomed by Giannelli which, however, does not convince Miozzo: “I don’t know how helpful it is to have an undirected exam. The rapid swab exam provides a relatively safe photograph, but it also creates a perception of negativity that can be harmful.”
Among the measures requested by school directors and unions with a view to starting face-to-face classes, is to include teachers and is among the priority categories for administration of the vaccine. “I think it’s okay, the school staff is exposed in a relevant way. If the vaccination campaign is not delayed due to the problems derived from the availability of vaccines and continues as planned, the school staff will have a preferential channel ”, assures Miozzo.
