The last words pronounced by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte about the school seemed more than a warning: “The curve is experiencing such a rapid increase that it runs the risk of questioning face-to-face teaching,” the prime minister announced.
Hours later, majority sources confirmed to the press agencies that the Government is actually considering the hypothesis of allowing face-to-face teaching up to the second grade and remote teaching from the eighth grade for everyone.
Sunday decisive day
The provision, to be endorsed even after the various meetings scheduled for Sunday, November 1 (the Regions with Ministers Roberto Speranza and Francesco Boccia, then in the afternoon the Prime Minister with the heads of delegation first and then the group leaders majority), could merge already in the Dpcm foreseen from Wednesday 4 to Monday 2 October (this time, however, with the involvement of Parliament, and therefore also of the opposition, before the launch).
The hypothesis has already been debated during the meeting held on Saturday, October 31, for five consecutive hours, at Palazzo Chigi: the solution, leaving the 13-14 year old at home would represent a compromise between those who ask for a “Major closure , also introducing DDA in other school cycles, and those who care about families with both working parents who with their children at home would have serious problems for their management.
Therefore, secure classroom lessons up to the seventh grade, with Distance education from the eighth grade is currently a concrete possibilityIn fact, in this case, more than half a million children would stay at home, in addition to the 2 million and 600 thousand from high school.
Positive Hospitality Zones Approaching
Among other provisions, the executive is also considering the installation of “Covid hotels”, where to house the positive ones who, otherwise, run the risk of infecting relatives.
The Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, asked the Scientific Technical Committee to meet to provide the government with data on those territories that face a growing number of Covid-19 infections.
Areas most at risk for inhibition
The aim – writes the Ansa – is to establish new red zones or to provide “selective” closures: the most popular, at the moment, are the metropolitan areas of Milan, Naples, Genoa and Turin, a part of Veneto and some southern regions, like Campania.
Meanwhile, the premier himself looks to the future and to the end of the Covid emergency: the way out of this difficult situation is the vaccine. “We hope to have it in December,” Conte explained, “but we must understand that a few million doses will arrive per country, so we will have to make a shared plan at European level to intervene in the most fragile groups and gradually for the rest of the categories.”
