Genoa. Almost there half of the students were at home with respiratory symptoms, but only some of them had done the buffer. A situation that alarmed parents and made the principal suspicious until the ASL intervened ordering the Mandatory test for the whole class. It happened in the eighth grade of the Aldo school Gastaldi, part of the comprehensive institution Oregon, where the result of the reports is now awaited to decide on a possible quarantine.
To confirm the case is Marta Caltabellotta, ASL 3 health director: “We found in that class number of absences greater than 40% and as a precaution, as expected in these cases, we have prepared a swab for all students ”. According to some parents, it was the families of the absent students who decided to keep the children at home without activating the procedure provided for in the protocol, but the health company denies: “It was the pediatricians that did not consider swabs for children, everyone evaluates based on the symptoms they find, but ASL can always decide to intervene. “
In the case, however, there is a circular, sent by Principal Emma Lucchini to parents and teachers, communicating that “after the numerous absences, a report was made to the ASL 3 prevention department.” The boys were summoned to swab at the Via Agnese clinic in Sampierdarena in two shifts, one today and another tomorrow, but “the ASL makes it known that there may be waiting times,” the document reads.
And then a tip: “It is suggested to keep the students at home on both October 8 and 9“But no formal suspension of lessons, a decision that has puzzled some families.”It is not within my rights because it would be an interruption of the public service – responds the client contacted by telephone from Genoa24 -. We follow the procedure exactly. ASL has not decided on quarantine and I have only given a suggestion. Unfortunately we will have to get used to cases like this, not a link in the chain should be broken ”.
Swab results now awaited, the last one is likely to arrive early next week. If research shows even a positive “then quarantine will be activated automatically – Confirmation from Caltabellotta – 14 days from the last confirmed contact. For this reason, the actual duration could even be shorter. “
