School, 500 thousand tests carried out on personnel: 13 thousand positive for Covid-19 | Students in the square: “Very little done”

According to the data collected until Wednesday, the most virtuous Region was Lombardy with 70% of the tests carried out, while in the last place was Sardinia with only 5% of the personnel who underwent the controls. By September 24, the Commissioner’s Office expects the total percentage to increase to 60-70%.

Distribute the masks Meanwhile, Arcuri has guaranteed that “no school will be left without surgical masks.” “All students, all faculty and all non-teaching staff will have a free surgical mask every day,” he explained. To date, 41 million masks have been distributed and another 77 will arrive on Monday, “enough for two more weeks of lessons.” Also by Monday, another 16 million masks will be distributed to primary schools, “enough to ensure the safe reopening of these institutions as well.” Then, the distribution will continue weekly or biweekly depending on the number of students.

Students in the square: “Very little done” However, all this does not reassure the students: “A few days after the reopening, the government has done very little to reopen the school: there is no transportation, light works are not enough, school dropouts are skyrocketing and the number of Teachers is insufficient. Not enough! To do this – announces the Student Union – we will take to the streets on September 25 and 26 “, alone and with the national demonstration in Rome in which the unions will also participate. But the Deputy Minister Anna Ascani responds from the Ministry of Education: “the reopening of schools, in presence and security, is seeing many professionals involved: the objective is common and fundamental for all our children.”
