What will happen after the Christmas decree? We remind you that the Christmas Decree sets its measures between December 24, 2020 and January 6, 2021, making Italy in the red zone on holidays and the day before and in the orange zone on other days.

So on January 7, we go back to school? The prefect tables work in this direction for all students, including high school children, working on the source of the staggering hours of school entrance and on the transportation front, to increase travel and vehicle availability .
Even Minister Azzolina has always acted and made her statements as if there was no alternative to this option of returning to class in presence. In the Christmas letter, for example, he stated: School is the home of the future and if we close schools, we also lose sight of our tomorrow.
An enthusiasm that comes from many fronts and involves many regional school offices. Bussetti, former Minister of Education, now Director of the Milan School Office, said: “As of January 7, up to 50% of all students will be admitted to the school at 8 am. After 9.30, the rest until reaching the percentage of 75% of the student population, according to the Ministry of Education. In emergencies, there is only one answer: act immediately, together“.
But is it really so? Is it safe for middle school and second and third grade students to go back to school?
It will depend on the prudence shown by Italians during the Christmas holidays and on the trend of the contagion curve, linked, we fear, also to the new strain of Coronavirus, which apparently shows, if not more aggressive, at least a higher infection rate . The RT index, in short, could grow again in a fairly rapid time, compromising the plans of the Minister of Education Lucía Azzolina.

If this were the case, therefore, in the presence of an increase in RT, many regions of Italy could once again be declared a red zone with an order from the Ministry of Health. In this case, distance education would probably be re-practiced for secondary schools and for junior and senior high schools.
A lightening of the restrictive measures could affect the last classes, which will have to take final exams of the cycle. In other words, if a percentage of face-to-face teaching was still allowed, even in the red zone (50%, as we refer to in another article) for high schools, this could probably involve fifth graders.
