The words of Prime Minister Mario Draghi: “The government will intervene on health workers who do not want to be vaccinated. Schools reopen until sixth grade, Minister Bianchi is working to make this happen in an orderly manner. The general intention was that if there was a space, we would use it for schools through sixth grade. The decisions taken with the last decree have led to a decrease in the growth rate of infections, although the situation continues to be critical and worrying but the general desire “was to reopen the school until sixth grade, a greater opening would be a risk.” Scientific evidence shows that even sixth grade schools by themselves are not a source of contagion, that is, it is what is around the school and the older you get, the more activities increase. All other measurements remain unchanged. The school is a very limited contagion point only in the presence of all other restrictions ”.

The words of the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza: “The measures allowed us to verify the first signs of a slowdown in contagion. Today the RT is 0.8, last week 1.16 and it had been growing for several weeks. The incidence rate has dropped from 250: there is still a delicate situation that must be followed with the utmost attention but we can afford the option of opening the school within a prudential framework. We can afford, in a framework that is still very prudent, a choice that wants to give a signal, I think it is very relevant for a strategic and decisive piece of society. So we decided in the control room to spend this tiny treasure at school because of its social function in our country ”.

Reopening of schools in the red zone, ok by the Government: in class until sixth grade. There are no yellow zones until April 30
