Covid, Regions requests remote lessons for high school. At the Dpcm we stopped on school trips. Recommend masks indoors with friends.

Distance lessons in high school, stop on school trips this year and the recommendation on the use of masks at home in the presence of people who do not live together. These are the main changes discussed during the meeting between the government and the Regions in Palazzo Chigi to define all the points that will be included in the next Dpcm. Following the meeting with the local authorities, Giuseppe Conte will meet, as far as is known, the majority heads of delegation. Minister Francesco Boccia and Undersecretary Riccardo Fraccaro must also participate in the meeting.

School, distance lessons in high school and stop on school trips
From the president of the Conference of the Regions, Stefano Bonaccini, the proposal to allow distance lessons for upper-class students has reached the executive table. A measure that, according to the governors, will serve to relieve pressure on transportation. However, the government does not necessarily make a decision today, even if “the problem exists,” explains a minister.

On the other hand, the government proposed canceling school trips, off-site school activities and twinning. A measure that aims to limit the movements and gatherings of young people as much as possible.

Masks, also recommended at home with friends.
The government then returned to the subject of masks. Not only is the obligation to use them outdoors but, from what is inferred, the government has proposed to the Regions to also insert a strong recommendation for the use of the devices even inside private homes when encountering people who do not live together . “In the Dpcm we are going to insert the provision for outdoor masks that we have already put in general terms in the decree law – Conte specified during the meeting – Although the standard on outdoor masks is binding, we will insert a strong recommendation on masks within private homes in the presence of people who do not live together. We do not believe that we are introducing a binding rule but we want to send the message that if you receive people who do not live together at home you should wear a mask ”.

Added to this recommendation is also the halt to private parties, with a “strong recommendation” to limit even those at home, if more than six people participate, although this point is still being considered. In fact, some of the ministers continue to push for a real ban, even at home.

In addition, there is the executive’s request to suspend sports activities for contact sports, such as soccer or basketball, at the amateur level, but to allow them at the amateur level, for companies that have adopted protocols to limit infections. The difference that is conceived between amateur and amateur sports has the objective of not penalizing those who have made investments and have adopted protocols for the resumption of activity, starting from the different sports federations.

Closed at midnight for pubs, restaurants and bars. It is forbidden to stop in front of the facilities after 9:00 p.m.
The government has also proposed to local authorities a ban on parking in front of the premises after 9 pm. A measure that, they say, aims to avoid crowds on the streets and outside the businesses in question. Pubs, clubs and table service restaurants can stay open until midnight. These proposals have found, from what follows, the support of the Regions as well.

As for ceremonies, such as weddings, communions, confirmations and funerals, the rules of the protocols already approved continue in force but a maximum limit of 30 people is established for subsequent receptions.

Municipalities: promoting smart work
Encourage smart work and differentiate school hours to reduce the presence of travelers on means of transport. And standardize the percentage of spectators in stadiums and theaters across the country. These are two of the proposals that the mayor of Bari and president of ANCI, Antonio Decaro, has made on behalf of the municipalities in the control room of Palazzo Chigi. Decaro, as we learn, has also asked, instead of closing the premises before, to limit after a certain hour the supply of drinks to customers only at the tables, both inside and outside, to avoid crowds outside bars and restaurants.

Ministry Circular: 10-day quarantine for asymptomatic patients is confirmed
In addition, a new circular of the Ministry of Health was also issued updating the indications on the duration and term of isolation and quarantine: “Asymptomatic people who have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 can return to the community after a isolation period of at least 10 days from the onset of positivity, at the end of which a molecular test is performed with a negative result (10 days + test) ”, he says. As for those who, on the other hand, tested positive with symptoms , these “can return to the community after a period of isolation of at least 10 days from the onset of symptoms accompanied by a molecular test with a negative result performed after at least 3 days without symptoms (10 days, of which at less 3 days without symptoms + test) “.

In the case of close contact with an infected person, however, “a quarantine period of 14 days should be observed from the last exposure to the case, or a quarantine period of 10 days from the last exposure with a negative antigen or molecular test. performed on the tenth day “. Molecular testing is also recommended at the end of quarantine for all people who live or come in regular contact with fragile subjects or subjects at risk of complications.

The circular also recommends providing differentiated access to testing for children, not providing for quarantine or running diagnostic tests among close contacts of close contacts of a positive case, unless the close contact of the case is not subsequently positive. any diagnostic test or in the event that, in the opinion of the health authorities, it is appropriate to carry out a community screening.

The text also addresses the case of those who, by not presenting symptoms, remain positive 21 days after the first diagnosis of infection. In these cases, the ministry has decided that “people who, despite having no more symptoms, continue to test positive in the molecular test for SARS-CoV-2, in case of absence of symptoms for at least a week, can interrupt isolation. 21 days after the onset of symptoms. This criterion can be modulated by the health authorities in agreement with clinical experts and microbiologists / virologists, taking into account the immunological status of the affected persons (in immunosuppressed patients the period may be prolonged contagion) “.
