Although the debate between institutions, unions and experts in schools reopening safely after six months of suspension due toCoronavirus emergencyThere is already a case that makes people argue, and that could be “school”, it should be said. L ‘Cobianchi Higher Institute of Verbania, in the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, in Piedmont, which a few days ago had restarted the lessons in presence with the students who participated in the courses of the so-called “Mon”, the national operational program promoted by the Ministry with European funds, was forced to close again after finding a “user” positive to hyssop for Covid-19. This was announced by the same institute with a note on its official website, signed by the director Vicenza Maselli.

“It is announced that the Cobianchi Institute suspends educational activities starting Monday, August 31, 2020 to allow the performance of an intervention disinfection of the premises, as required by current regulations for the containment of the Covid-19 pandemic – reads the press release -. The intervention was necessary because a user, who recently entered the Institute, tested positive for the Covid-19 virus. The safety of students and all school personnel is, for Cobianchi Institute, priority over any other interest. The reopening of the school will occur when the sanitation works are completed and full access can be guaranteed safety. This date will be communicated as soon as possible. “The school therefore includes courses in the field technical (Chemistry, Electrotechnical Mechanics, Computer Science, Electronics, Biology) and high school student (Human and Social Sciences, Linguistic-Modern and Scientific-Technological), closes not even a week after the reopening, during which, in addition, the number of students present was still reduced and certainly they were not the same rhythms that exist. when it is at full capacity. A story that makes you think, two weeks after the return of the Italian students to the classroom, scheduled, as directed by the Ministry of Health.

Among the most debated points, is that of the possibility that a student or teacher tests positive for Coronavirus. According to the official guidelines prepared by Ministries, ISS and competent bodiesIf a student has symptoms at school, they should isolate themselves in a designated area, with the help of an adult wearing a mask. Parents must be alerted immediately. Once they return home, the parents contact the pediatrician or doctor, who decides whether to refer the child to buffer. If the test is positive, we begin with the follow-up and identification of close contacts. Eventually the individual measures to be taken will be evaluated, including, if necessary, also the quarantine for classmates, teachers and other people who have had contact. In any case, schools must perform extraordinary sanitation in the event of a positive student. The document also specifies that “a single confirmed case should not lead to its closure, especially if transmission in the community is not high.” However, in case of suspicion but subsequent negative swab, the patient must repeat the test after 2-3 days, staying at home until the negative result of the second test and in any case until the symptoms pass.
