Better start counting. There is one week left for the expected and partial reopening of schools in Campania: strongly invoked by the parents of the students, especially the youngest, announced by the Region. And, for the return to the security counters, as of Tuesday, November 24, the next few days are decisive: the ASL is entrusted with a directed screening, using antigenic swabs, 180 thousand available, which allow to have the result in 15 minutes, the same that later should be used in the classroom to avoid new outbreaks. Called to submit to the test: the staff, teachers or not, of the classes in question (because the plan is by steps), together with the students – and this is the main novelty – the members of the family who live together. Exam reservations start today. Voluntarily.

It begins with educational services and kindergarten (0-6 years, 154 thousand registered in the public and in pairs) and the first of primary (56 thousand), about 210 thousand children in Campania. “But we do not want it to be a nightmare for them,” says the regional councilor for Education. Lucia Fortini. From family members to teachers, everyone is called to join. They can do it by booking the quick test through the toll free 800814818, active from today (7.30-19.30), and for the entire duration of the screening. On the phone you must provide your personal data (mobile phone and email), indicate the school to which you belong and give your consent for the processing of personal data. “The operator will communicate in real time, but also via e-mail, the date, time and place to go to perform the rapid test, along with a reservation number that will be communicated to ASL staff”, is the provision by protocol regional.
In Naples, the identified area is adjacent to the Ospedale del Mare (a mobile unit has already been set up, but a second site will be activated if there are many requests; plus one in Capri and another in Anacapri, as part of the same Asl), and Palazzo Saint Lucia asked to make it easier for working mothers and fathers and to prevent their children from being forced to skip dad, setting appointments also in the afternoon. Now each health administrator proceeds by himself, taking into account the specific needs of the territory. In Irpinia, for example. Six workstations configured in drive-in mode. “One of the objectives is to involve at least half of the school world to have a reliable sample: previously there was a great collaboration”, says Ugo Trama, director of “Health protection and coordination of the regional health system”. Once the screening is complete, the results of the checks are expected to cross the verdict of the swabs performed on the entire population this week: an examination of the risks considered fundamental for the final approval of the lessons.
«The Rt index should return to values that suggest less contagion. Hopefully below 1»Says epidemiologist Alessandro Perrella, the algorithm used in Campania to decide what to do. “But the evaluation in this case can only be more complex,” says Trama. In fact, the regional crisis unit is convened on the 23rd, the day before the resumption. Therefore, the unknowns remain, to which are added operational problems. “What I know is that it would be very difficult to start over with half the class in attendance and half in Dad, it would be difficult for teachers, school leaders to think of solutions,” explains Councilor Fortini, postponing the considerations for the next Monday. The other date to be noted on the calendar is November 30, when the rest of the Primary and Lower Secondary classes are scheduled to return to the classroom, and the start of the workshops. Also in this case, the detection is entrusted to the ASL. “With the support of the Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute of Southern Italy»Read the ordinance that reiterates: the activities of the cultural, social and recreational centers are suspended, and therefore the courses of foreign languages, acting, singing, dancing, music. Another indication that is given is to strengthen public transport, avoiding the mass of vehicles, again to reduce the dangers.
Finally, the ordinance confirms face-to-face teaching for students with disabilities and extends to students with special educational needs not mentioned in the previous provisions. And, above all, it is written that the online connection with the students in the class who follow the distance lessons must be guaranteed. A signal welcomed by family associations such as Fish, after many (who leads the non-profit organization Tutti a scuola) wrote an appeal to the head of state, Sergio Mattarella, for fear of a return to differential classes. However, activities in the hospitals are suspended, another issue that needs to be addressed urgently.
