Covid and school

The spread of the virus continues to cause periods of closure and triggering of isolation for groups of students and teachers in Palermo schools, from kindergartens to high schools. This time it was the turn of the children who attend a section of the Infazia del Plexus Trinacria school of the Garzilli didactic direction. One of the teachers tested positive for the Covid 19 rapid test and therefore the students will have to respect the ten-day quarantine according to the latest legislation.
