«The request for reintroduction of the obligation to certificate return to the doctor a school it has no scientific basis and contradicts the recommendations made to date to contain the epidemic. The school world must want with us the measures that allow children and adolescents to attend classes safely. It says Paolo Biasci, president of the Italian Federation of Pediatricians (Fimp), responding to the request of the National Association of Rectors to make mandatory, after an absence of more than 5 days, the presentation of the medical certificate of readmission to the school.

And the reintroduction of the certificate, which is based solely on the evaluation of clinical conditions, would instead offer false assurance about the contagious conditions of the students -he adds- We adhere to the rules of the last Dpcm and follow the indicated path of assistance which involves the execution of nasopharyngeal swab in all the main and most frequent conditions that cause absences from school communities. Rather, we try to improve the management of the organizational aspects, so very little has been done in recent months.
“We now have a proven telephone triage system, possibly associated with video consultation, says Biasci, that allows us to identify all suspected cases of Covid-19 infection. For safe school attendance, we need a swab report as quickly as possible. possible, in order to draw up a certificate that will allow him to return to school.Do we want to re-cram the studies of family pediatricians with unnecessary accesses for a long-canceled bureaucratic compliance, precisely because it has no scientific value and does not allow to exclude In fact, how can we certify with certainty the non-contagiousness of a patient without first having performed the only test validated to date to resolve the diagnosis? “
“Rather – Biasci concludes – let’s focus on the organizational aspects of managing the epidemic. We are doing our part, but it is not possible to have to wait 4-5 days and even more so for the result of the nasopharyngeal swab for Covid-19 when, if the same patient goes to the ER, the answer arrives in 4 hours. . We try to reduce the disparity between the hours of the hospitals and the territory. The first beneficiaries will be the children and their families.
