“Minister, do not open the secondary school on January 7. the risk is too high. “Launch the appeal to the head of Education Lucia azzolina they are no longer just the Regions but also the community scientific, me school leaders and organizations unions. Faced with the growth of contagion In recent days and the possible boom that could occur as of January 10, as a result of the gatherings during the Christmas holidays, the first to ask for a confrontation with the government was the governor of Emilia Romagna, Stefano. Bonaccini. An alarm bell also sounded for the presidents of the regions Apulia, Lazio, Veneto, Umbria and Campania.
But also and above all the experts ask for a precautionary supplement, virology, physicians, immunologists, pediatricians. To accompany the consultant to the Minister of Health Walter Ricciardi who in recent days had proposed not to reopen schools before 3:00 pm, now the director of infectious diseases of the Sacco hospital in Milan is also taking to the field, Massimo Galli, l’immunology Antonella Sawthe the president of the Italian Society of Pediatrics Alberto Villani and number one in the order of doctors, Filippo Anelli that wouldn’t open classrooms even in mid-January. A chorus that until Sunday afternoon was not heard by Minister Azzolina, still convinced that she is not taking any step back from January 7. The same goes for the prime minister Giuseppe Conte that during the summit at Palazzo Chigi with the heads of delegation he would not have questioned the date of next Thursday to return to the benches.
However, many of his best known colleagues coincide with the consultant to the Minister of Health. “I have no doubt: I am with Ricciardi,” Galli said. “Mobilizing a part of the young population at this time is not prudent. I’m not saying it but the numbers. The epidemiological curve leaves no way out; the general rehearsal of the work carried out by prefects I would like after 15, once we understand what the impact of the virus has been in recent weeks ”, explains the virologist. In fact, “the evidence from all scientific studies tells us that the opening of schools has an impact on the advance of epidemics. Some like to say otherwise, but perhaps it’s worth considering perplexity of those who have the pulse of the situation. In a scenario like ours, the precautionary principle must prevail ”. The Sacco’s chief doctor also makes a proposal, shared by the medical director of Spallanzani in Rome, Francesco Let’s go: “They go vaccine the older teachers in a hurry ”.
The immunologist also asks for the postponement of the reopening of the classrooms Viola: “See item 11 to allow time to better organize schedules and analyze data. But no more. It should be clear, however, that they are necessary staggered entrances, reduced capacity in vehicles and mandatory masks. “Alberto Villani, who among other things is a member of the Scientific Technical Committee, is also cautious:” The epidemiological curve must be taken into account. The situation in three or four days must be carefully evaluated. If the number of infections grows we will have to take painfully note of it ”.
The most drastic is the president of the National Order of Doctors, Filippo Anelli: “If our country stayed Red zone I have no hesitation in saying that schools can reopen: at that time there would be fewer people in the media and aggregations would be prohibited for everyone, including young people. Since this will not be the case, we cannot take chances. Galli and Ricciardi are optimistic. We do not wait no improvement in the epidemiological curve, Unfortunately. Also comes the flu (the peak will be in the second week of February) and we are concerned about the concomitance of the two pandemics. The hope is that the use of personal protection devicesand also have an impact on the flu in the face of a vaccination campaign that this year went very wrong ”.
Siding with the scientific community are school leaders who have been voicing concerns about the January 7 reopening for days. Antonello Giannelli, number one of the National Association of Directors, has been heard again: “As the date of return to school for high school students approaches, we are witnessing numerous controversies between the Regions and the government about whether this recovery is or not appropriate. We must trust scientific evidence represented by the Cts and therefore yes to the reopening in presence but only if they are not there risks for the safety of students and staff. “But Giannelli also opposes staggered entries:” You have to restore the frequency but without it harmful shifts for the organization of life and the study of children, limiting as much as possible the extent of wonder. For months we have been asking for regulations to be respected even outside schools and for continuous capillary screening using quick swabs ”. Giannelli asks principals to decide on the number of children who will attend: “Another common sense request is that the shift from 50% to 75% attendance is gradual and delegated to the decisions of individual schools. Forcing them to continuously reorganize their hours is detrimental to the quality of teaching ”.
Position shared by the president of the PNA of the region Lazio, Mario Rusconi, not at all satisfied with how the school’s regional office has run the reopening game so far, setting tickets at 8-10: “A few days before the start of school we still don’t know anything about the plan transport. Families are in fibrillation. We were not invited to the tables set up by the Prefecture but we are the only ones who know well the situation of our schools ”.
Is within Apulia to announce the possible postponement is the regional president of the ANP Roberto romito who participated in the meeting with Governor Emiliano and the unions: “The idea that the president is working on, shared by all, is that of an ordinance that postpone opening to 15 in order to assess the effects of the Christmas season. There was also a lively debate on the issue of freedom of choice for families to send their children or keep them at home. In the end we agreed on the hypothesis of accepting in the presence not only disabled children but also all those students who cannot stay at home with their parents ”.
On the war front, the unions. Maddalena Gissi, national secretary of the Cisl School He explains: “We keep reading news but there is no comparison with the ministry. School leaders are exhausted; they continue to make and remake schedules for didactic activities in the presence of 50%. Will we return on the 7th? The solution will be drawn on the day of Epiphany as happened once with the Lottery of Italy! “Secretary Snals too Elvira Serafini was heard: “We are taking note of the increase in infections in recent days. On January 18 we could get an idea of the epidemiological trend and decide after due consideration. “
