School, the failure of serological tests: only one in four teachers did them

The data, published since Tg1, does not take into account the 200 thousand teachers and non-teachers in Lazio since the Region operates independently. As of yesterday, the most virtuous region was Lombardy, with 70% of the tests carried out while in last place was Sardinia with only 5% of the workforce that underwent the tests. By September 24, the Commissioner’s Office expects the percentage to increase to 60-70%. Last Tuesday, Republic it had ensured that the Regions had tested about a quarter of the school operators. In Lazio, which is operating autonomously, about 30,000 had been reached, but another 20,000 have been set (the total number of people to be tested in this region would be 120,000).

Conte: “The school will open on September 14 with maximum security”

In some regions, the delay in exams was due to the difficulty of finding doctors to perform the test in their offices. The Deputy Minister of Health, Pierpaolo Sileri, said today, to some school operators who do not want to undergo the tests: “Moral persuasion must be strengthened so that the tests are carried out, but the school will reopen safely. Under those circumstances in those that the system is not ready yet, we can wait four or five days to leave safely ”.
