The school year begins, not all regions will start today. It is the Regions that decide the school calendar and some have preferred the 24th instead of the 14th. A very special start to the year that begins in a health emergency. So you need to remember some important practices to get out safely.

The school calendar

The Ministry has set 14 as the start date for the school year, but some Regions (autonomously and in accordance with the law) have decided to advance or postpone the start. For example, they have already reopened on the 7th in Alto Adige and Vo ‘in Veneto. Friuli Venezia Giulia on September 16, in Sardinia on September 22, others will open after the regional elections and the referendum on September 20 and 21, for example: Puglia, Calabria, Abruzzo, Basilicata and Campania on September 24. In Sicily, schools will reopen on September 14, but individual institutions have the opportunity to postpone them until September 24 by virtue of school autonomy. All the dates

Student temperature

It is measured at home. The Minister reiterated this yesterday “it makes much more sense to take his temperature at home than to put him on a bus or in places where he can infect his companions. Even more so if he was sick with Covid. We have worked with a view to absolute prevention. France also decided to take their temperature at home. I trust Italian families”.

More expensive

94 million masks and 400 thousand liters of gel have already been distributed“Commissioner Arcuri said yesterday. Today, therefore “The 8.5 million students and one and a half million teachers – continued the Commissioner – will have the surgical mask, as we said, which will be used to carry out activities safely. This will be repeated every day until the end of the year.

When should they be used? In cases where a safe distance cannot be guaranteed, such as when on the move. Where, in class, the distance and two meters from the teacher is guaranteed, the mask is not mandatory. However, both teachers and students can decide to keep the mask even if security measures are guaranteed.

Recreation

It can be done, but safely. Sitting at the desk or taking turns. The important thing will be to avoid meetings during the break.

What happens in the case of a positive person at school?

Positive student at school

As included in the guidelines and in the FaQ of the Ministry of Health: “In the event that a student presents an increase in body temperature above 37.5 ° C or a symptom compatible with COVID-19 in the school environment, the following measures: immediately inform the school contact person for the Covid -19; notify the student’s parents immediately; host the student in a special area, in the company of an adult wearing a surgical mask; Have the student wear a surgical mask if they are over six years old and tolerate it. School personnel may proceed with the possible detection of body temperature by using non-contact thermometers.

The school will need to clean and disinfect the surfaces of the isolation room or area after the symptomatic student has returned home.

Positive school staff at school

Make sure the school operator wears a surgical mask, as planned; invite him to leave the facility, return home, and contact his GP for the necessary clinical evaluation. In case of suspicion of COVID-19, the treating physician promptly requests the diagnostic test and communicates it to the Prevention Department, which will carry it out and take actions to deepen the epidemiological investigation and the consequent procedures (location of contacts, etc.). School workers have a priority in conducting diagnostic tests.

Environmental sanitation

If students or school staff are positive, “in the first place to carry out an extraordinary sanitation of the school. Sanitation should be performed if 7 days or less have passed since the positive person visited or used the facility.
