In particular, “the increasing value of the variable” new cases confirmed in the last 14 days per 100,000 inhabitants “, although it remains the lowest of all the regions , is 15 times higher, with an upward trend, than the value registered in the September period, in which it remained stable, and can reasonably be considered to be closely correlated with the resumption of school activities at all levels in the regional territories individual ». In the technical meeting on November 13 with the directors of the Prevention departments of the provincial health authorities, “the problem related to the numerous infections of students and school operators was represented – explained in the ordinance – a continuous increase in the spread of the epidemic, given that schools, especially those for childhood and primary school, represent a meeting place where respect for interpersonal distancing is complicated and the possibility of transmission of home-based contagion is amplified ”. Furthermore, in numerous territorial areas, “the mayors -especially of the provincial capitals- have ordered, with their own provisions, the suspension of educational activities in the presence of all levels and levels; Even international scientific studies “show how the suspension of school activities can reduce the ability of the virus to reproduce between 15 and 24% in the medium term.”
Ordinance

Spirlì: “patience and collaboration”
“It was not an easy decision, because stopping face-to-face teaching – says Spirlì – means depriving children, adolescents and young people of a right guaranteed by the Constitution and by all relevant laws. However, considering schools as places that, among so many dangers still guarantee a certain degree of safety – we cannot fail to take into account the increasingly intrusive nature of Covid-19 “.” Schools, like all other public buildings – explains the president – are “inhabited” by human beings, who – very often and in spite of themselves – are silent carriers of this dangerous virus. Families, at this dramatic moment, must be protected, especially in the health sector. That is why I ask you collaboration and patience to all: only then can we all get out of this tunnel together “
