Today’s numbers are the signal that Vincenzo De Luca was waiting for to take measures to combat the spread of the coronavirus in Campania: from 818 to 1,127 positive people in the last 24 hours. And so, the governor announced that starting tomorrow and until October 30 there will be no more face-to-face lessons in primary and secondary schools in the region. The ordinance also suspended on-site teaching and verification activities at universities, with the exception of those related to freshmen.

Azzolina, De Luca a very serious decision

“It is a very serious decision, deeply erroneous and also inappropriate,” said the Minister of Education, Lucía Azzolina. “There seems to be a persistence of the governor against the school. In Campania 0.75% of students tested positive at school and certainly did not test positive at school. The national average is 0.80. If there is growth, it is certainly not the school’s fault. The minister specified: “I have neither the power to open schools nor the power to close schools. The presidents of the region and the provinces have the power to close them.

The jump of infections

The new positives in Campania exceeded the balance of 800 units between new infections and cured (317 seconds in today’s bulletin) that De Luca had indicated as the threshold to “close everything”. In the afternoon, a note from the crisis unit announced that “strict measures have been adopted with the dual objective of limiting the circumstances of dangerous concentrations in all areas, private and public, and with the aim of minimizing mobility.” difficult to control. “Apart from De Luca’s new ordinance, it stands out” the very high level of contagion also registered in families and derived from contacts in the school world. “

Parties limited to a cohabiting family

In the new ordinance of the Campania Region, parties are prohibited, even as a consequence of civil or religious ceremonies, in public places, open public and private, indoors or outdoors, with guests not related to the family that lives together. The activities of the recreational and recreational clubs are suspended. In addition, the competent bodies and offices are recommended to differentiate the daily hours of the staff present.
