There is still no full agreement on how to return to school safely.
The epidemic of coronavirus has put one of the most important themes to the test: the presence in the classroom of children and young people from all school groups.
The last clash was born over whether or not to introduce the mandatory character of medical certificate for 5 days of absence. Pediatricians and principals don’t think the same way. Meanwhile, controversy also breaks out tampons.
Certified yes or no? Pediatricians: It’s Harmful, Here’s Why
At school with the certificate after an absence of more than 5 days – this is the line of principals, who focus onmandatory medical sheet to ensure health security.
However, a harmful strategy for pediatricians. The speaker is Paolo Biasci, president of the Italian Category Federation, in response to the main ones:
“The request for the reintroduction of the compulsory medical certificate for back to school has no scientific basis and contradicts the recommendations promoted so far to contain the epidemic. It is based solely on the assessment of clinical conditions and would offer one instead false security on contagious diseases of students “
In short, without a negative swab, there will be no certainty that the student who returns to the classroom is truly healthy.
According to pediatricians, therefore, the only really feasible solution is to take the test and work to ensure that the results are available as soon as possible. On the other hand, blocking doctor’s offices from obtaining the certificate is absolutely useless.
Swab to go back to school? Beware of the risk of “tipping”
About him buffer, the only way of health security for the school according to pediatricians, the critical voice of epidemiologist Lopalco has been raised.
Yours is a warning: be careful not to send the entire health and diagnostics system into a tailspin with reckless prescription of tests. The risk is that a kind of dictatorship of the mattress is established, which is explained below:
“he resort to tampon because – let me tell you – the excess of prudence, in a large audience of asymptomatic population, produces non-secondary criticalities … At this critical moment of school reopening, so requesting a tampon for each child who has a fever actually runs the risk of sending the inclined system“
How to behave, then, according to the expert? There are two ways: request the test when there is a clear indication of contagion, not with the signs of a cold. And avoid the obligation of medical certification: i pediatriciansThey, for defensive purposes, will tend to prescribe tests in large quantities before returning the student to class.
The results? A “pyrrhic victory” for Lopalco, with a public health system that is too defensive, conflictive and, therefore, ineffective.
