School, Fvg postpones high school reopening

High schools in Fvg will not reopen from January 7. That is what the Region has decided. The commissioner announced it during a press conference Alessia Rosolen, who explained how safe the back to school is, but right now the conditions are not there. “We have imagined a reopening step by step, we consider it an act of responsibility,” said Rosolen. “It is a painful choice, because we are aware that the school is not only didactic and notions, but a set of factors that make it the place.” par excellence of the growth of our children ”.

“President Massimiliano Fedriga will sign an ordinance, in which it is foreseen that the return to classes – for the institutes – will not be scheduled before January 31 “. Rosolen specified, thanking all the offices that have worked in recent weeks to bring the kids back to the classroom.

The plans are ready, with three possible scenarios: 50%, 75% or 100% return. The decision to postpone everything to February is motivated as follows: “We want to give the certainty of the times to the schools: we cannot start over and then close again. We did it based on data from the epidemiological curve and what we do because the school already has everyone ready. ” the return plans, “Rosolen said.

Word, therefore, to the commissioner Graziano Pizzimenti who recalled the turbulent path to define public transportation for students. In the last draft of the plans, defined by the four tables coordinated by the Prefects, for some poles in Trieste and for Gorizia a deferred entry was defined; In Pordenone the transport system will be improved without changes in schedules; for the old province of Udine there are no variations for the entrance to the secondary schools of Cervignano, Palmanova, San Giorgio di Nogaro, Latisana, Lignano and Tarvisio, while for the schools of the schools of Cividale and San Pietro al Natisone, Codroipo, Gemona, San Daniele del Friuli, Tolmezzo and Udine, the schedule will be staggered between 8 and 10. In general, also thanks to the use of vehicles with driver hire, the transport service will be improved with about 120 buses.

“When we reopen the schools, I am sure the transportation system will work. Of course, there may be some details to fix, but we will be ready to intervene,” said Pizzimenti.

“We want an open school, but one that guarantees health conditions for those who attend it. And it should not aggravate the pressure on the health system,” the vice president explained. Riccardo riccardi. “When a system is opened, it must have the guarantees to remain open. We cannot risk, as has already happened, to open and then to close again. The work is ready and detailed. The health department also took care of the school aspect, refining the definitions of types of cases and how to act accordingly. Civil Protection is also willing to go out into the field to guarantee entry and exit activities from schools ”.

“President Fedriga’s ordinance lives and is framed in this context. The ISS, in the last report, identified an Rt index of 0.98 for the Fvg. The Region has high pressure from the hospital system and this is one of the reasons why we made this decision, ”reiterated Riccardi.

The vice president then analyzed the data of the cases of contagion related to the school that “since September have been a total of 2,531, with 503 positive teachers, 1,908 students and 120 employees; To these are added 329 positivities among the people who revolve around the school system, bringing the total to 2,890. “The data on the age of the positives are significant: the highest infections among students – 749 – were between the ages of 14 and 19; they were 178 in the range of 0 to 5 years; 385 between 6 and 9 years old and 596 between 10 and 13 years old.

“Many other Regions – said Riccardi – are ready to make this decision. It is clear that we all want to reopen schools, but there is a general security problem that must be guaranteed.”
