There is a risk that school can close by contagion gives COVID-19? Till the date October 16, The answer seems to be no. At least not by order of Ministry of Education. In Campania the closure was ordered, but Minister Azzolina did not come forward in favor of the measure adopted.
Schools closed due to Covid-19?
the Ministry of Education and even Prime Minister Conte have spoken out clearly against a new closure of the school. And they are not the only ones. Some experts even say that such a measure does not serve to limit infections.
This is also because through school it is possible monitor outbreaks and lock them with quarantine, which would not otherwise be possible. Furthermore, preventive measures (mask and spacer) are sufficient to limit the damage (see FAQ Ministry of Health).

Where is the problem
The biggest problem, it seems, is transport. It is there where the rules tend not to be respected, especially that of distancing. At the table for discussion between the Government and the Regions, three possibilities were raised to solve the problem:
- stagger admissions and lessons also in the afternoon
- finance the use of private transport
- increase the number of workers operating in smart work.
And distance learning?
The distance education, unfortunately, it does not work well everywhere and is not seen as a suitable means of promoting student learning. In several southern schools, for example, Internet networks are not powerful enough to make a lesson sound smoothly (and some teachers struggle with technology).
Although it is necessary for the moment, that in presence is always and in any case preferable.
Of course, if the situation worsens further in the coming weeks, a change in positions cannot be ruled out.
