Schools closed in January, Acquaroli: “worrying numbers”
Governor Acquaroli, given the high Rt index data and infections, has decided to close the high school throughout the month of January (as well as that of his colleague Veneto Zaia). Contrary to what will be done at the national level, where the reopening is scheduled for January 11. “Worrying figures” in the Brands, hospitalizations (552) and particularly in Intensive Care (65), “given the hypothesis of a third wave.” In a post on his Facebook profile the president of the Region Francesco Acquaroli explains the decision to keep the 100% distance learning in Marche secondary schools until the end of January.
“These days we live are very complex days – he writes – The options must be dictated by a strong sense of responsibility. Postponing the reopening of secondary schools in the presence was difficult and fought – he adds – because we wanted to give a sense of return. to normal. But unfortunately there are two insurmountable obstacles “.” The first is inherent to the maintenance of hospital structures: – he points out – after two months of restrictions we have more than 550 admissions me 65 people in intensive care. Worrying figures against the hypothesis of a third wave “.” On the other side –
Acquaroli continues – unfortunately we have the need to limit the spread of infection and with it the restrictive measures that are causing enormous economic damage. With the hypothesis of
Government that reduces the parameter for which with the RT index higher than 1 it would go to ‘orange and 1.25′ red, – warns the president – the risk of spending the next few weeks’ closed becomes very high ”.
“In this sense, the number of people with whom he would move again the reopening of secondary schoolsEven at 50%, it is very important in such a delicate moment. – concludes Acquaroli – For this reason we can only implement all the measures to try to avoid worse socioeconomic and health scenarios. It is not a simple situation but everyone has to assume their responsibilities, we are trying ”.

Marks at risk between the orange and red zone
The market dance dangerously between yellow, orange and even red. The definitive answer is not there yet, but the real danger is that as of January 7 the region will no longer have the “freedom” of the yellow zone, which would also lead to the reopening of bars and restaurants. But that orange yes not red. All beginnings are getting worse. In the case of Rt, the index of the virus transmission rate, higher than 1, would be automatic. The same goes for the red zone that would start with a Rt exceeds 1.25.
