Rapid saliva tests in schools in Rome and Lazio where positive cases were found among children, teachers or non-teaching staff. And then the sample surveys were extended to all institutes in the region. A week after the reopening of the school year, and after a fortnight of students who were infected throughout the territory, the Region takes cover and launches a new strategy to prevent the epidemic from taking root in the school environment. To accelerate the projects of the Councilor for Health, Alessio D’Amato, also what happened at the De Merode institute in Piazza di Spagna: here, after a student, on the advice of the dean, repeated the hyssop and learned from having contracted Covid , all activity in the classical and scientific high school classes was suspended, leaving 390 students to continue their distance lessons with remote teaching until October 1.
Covid Lazio, from Monday rapid tests also in private centers: fixed price at 13 euros
Covid, from temperature-controlled vaccines and monoclonal antibodies: that’s why “we have to endure another six months”
THE RESULTS
The Region’s plan is simple and at the center are new salivary tests that can replace quick swabs. The result comes in three minutes and after knowing if you are positive or not for the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus: in the pregnancy test model, simply take a sample of saliva with a cotton swab, place it on the swab and in 180 seconds, the denouement arrives.
Two, as mentioned, are the guidelines on which the Pisana will move: starting tomorrow all students and school personnel will be subjected to saliva tests, where children who later tested positive have entered and attended classes . As in the case of De Merode, a few hours of class are enough to start the security procedure.
MONITORING
At the beginning of next week, however, the second step: the sample tests will begin in the complexes of Rome and Lazio where there are more students. Compared with what happened in the past, there are two great novelties: first, and according to the provisions of the scientific technical committee first and then the government, once a positive is discovered (which is transferred to a special wing and then placed in isolation ), colleagues and staff (teachers and janitors) who have come into contact with him, stay at home for 14 days, waiting to understand if there is a need to be molecular or not, while all contact tracing actions from of the closest contacts of the person who tested positive. And only with the presentation of the medical certificate will you be able to return to school.
MAPPING
Starting tomorrow, however, the verification is automatic, but with a tool, the “salivary”, less invasive and quick to consult. On the front of the sweep checks, requested aloud by some directors and some parents’ associations, the Region had hypothesized a sample selection.
Now, we take a step forward, effectively mapping the largest schools in 360 degrees. A no small effort, because only in Rome there are more than 13 thousand students and there is more work for the laboratories of the Covid network, already put to the test in the days by citizens who return from vacation, especially after spending their holidays in Sardinia . , in Spain, Croatia, Malta and Greece.
