On Monday, the obligation to wear a mask is also carried out outside the school. This was announced by the President of the Region Alberto Cirio in recent days and in these hours he will sign the ordinance that requires the use of security devices in all areas surrounding the institutes.
From the beginning of the lessons, the squares, parking lots, gardens and sidewalks, but also the waiting areas, getting on and off public transport had shown to have a high risk of crowds. The objective is above all the entry and exit times, where groups of students and parents often gather without protection. A prominent problem in particular in secondary schools, where children stop on squares and sidewalks without respecting the minimum distances and without wearing a mask.
The directors themselves had raised the alarm. “At the school we are very strict but we do not have external jurisdiction and many times the situation gets out of control”, confirmed many managers, also concerned about the issue of controls on the correct application of the ordinance. «With the shortage of personnel we have, it is unthinkable to also deal with outside gatherings. We hope that the Region asks for help from civil protection or the police ”.
Then the swabs, very few compared to other regions, according to the Anaao Assomed hospital doctors’ union. It is not always useful for pediatricians. The alarm was raised by Dr. Renato Turra, secretary of Fimp Torino, exhausted, like his colleagues, by an average of 50-70 daily phone calls from parents anxiously asking for information: from children’s symptoms to campaign deadlines . flu shot. Was it just that? The real problem is the defensive attitude of many institutions, that to welcome children to the classroom after a more or less prolonged absence, they do not conform to what is diagnosed by the pediatrician and ordered by the regional ordinance – in case of symptoms not attributable to Covid. , the simple compilation of an attachment, but in any case require the certificate of pediatricians. Who, at that time, should order a nasopharyngeal swab. “An unpleasant experience for an adult, not to mention a child,” said Turra. However, at the requests of the institutes and, consequently, of the families, we are forced to request it, even when we believe that it is not strictly necessary. In a word: the Region asks why we ask for so many tests, we are between a rock and a hard place. It is becoming a social problem. Result: many recipes, not always useful and overworked. For pediatricians, for ASL health services and for laboratories.
