back to school without a swab after quarantine



[ad_1]

Yet another change, of course. In fact, a circular from the Ministry of Health has changed the guidelines to be followed in the school environment for close contacts of positive cases. And the novelty makes you jump in your chair: because the obligation expires, for the companions of the infected student, to submit to a tampon before returning to class. Provided, of course, that in the meantime none of them manifest symptoms attributable to Covid-19.

No tampon to go back to school

Circular 32850 of October 12, 2020, as well as the subsequent regional note of October 19, no longer provides for the obligation, for close and asymptomatic contacts, to perform the control swab at the end of the 14-day quarantine period. The return to school can take place the day after the end of the quarantine and no certification / attestation should be requested from the doctor or pediatrician. “This is what we read in the note from Ats Brescia, issued in the last days to the schools, They then proceeded to communicate the change to the families.

Close contacts are all those (classmates, but also teachers and school personnel) who have been in contact with the positive student in the 48 hours prior to the onset of Covid symptoms. And it is up to people in isolation to notify the family doctor or pediatrician that they have been in contact with a case of Covid-19.

In short, everyone at home: at best with their parents, otherwise with the grandparents, running the risk of infecting them.

How to reduce quarantine

But a way of reducing the isolation period has also been envisaged, albeit slightly. After 10 days from the last contact with the positive partner, the student can go independently to one of the free access buffer points of the ASSTs (for example, the Covid center created by the Civil in the plaza of the area of parties in via Volta in Brescia) and the proof. No reservations or authorizations required – just fill out a self-declaration.

In case of failure, the quarantine ends, but you can’t go back to class anyway. Before going to school, a certificate of safe readmission to the community must be obtained from the pediatrician or treating physician. If, on the contrary, the mattress is positive, the Ats report is triggered and the mandatory isolation for the student, the trustee for the family members.
