It closes schools of all levels -including kindergartens- (and much more with another blow to the world of food and event organizers) from today until October 30 to avoid crowds in public transport. This is the desperate move of Governor Vincenzo De Luca to fight Covid: that is, everyone at home, connected, at a time when intra-family infections seem to be the main cause of the spread of the virus. Unless children are parking in the garage. Is it tafacism or is the situation out of control? In fact, De Luca’s equation does not like the school world and especially the minister does not like it. Lucia azzolina: «De Luca’s decision to close schools was very serious, deeply flawed and inappropriate. There seems to be a persistence of his towards school. Azzolina speaks on «Zapping», a broadcast on Radio1. “De Luca was the last to reopen schools and the first to close them,” insists the minister who disseminates figures. “In Campania only 0.075% of students tested positive for Covid and certainly the virus was not contracted in the classroom. The national average of students who have contracted the coronavirus is 0.080%, Campania is also below the national average. I understand De Luca’s concern about rising infections, but it’s certainly not the school’s fault. The data say it. Azzolina invites De Luca to reflect: «What will the boys do now? Do you think De Luca will stay at home? The president should keep the schools open for her to better understand where the infections come from. Then the warning, in Palazzo Chigi they will not be looking: «Can the Government appeal? The ordinance will be read and acted upon accordingly. As Minister of Education, I have neither the power to open nor close them. The Presidents of the Regions do.

Responding to Azzolina, De Luca himself thinks that he draws other numbers on infections but not in percentages, the absolute ones referring to Naples and Caserta: “Asl Napoli 1: infected 120 among students and teachers, Asl Napoli 2: infected 110 among students and teachers Asl Napoli 3: 200 students and 50 teachers infected, with about 70 related cases Asl Caserta: 61 students and teachers infected Dozens of these infections are direct contacts and have been traced through contact tracing. “
Let’s go back to the ordinance that arrived last night, an icy shower for tens of thousands of students and teachers. Ordinance that arrives on the day of the records of everything: 13,780 swabs, 1,127 positives and asymptomatic ones that are the overwhelming majority of 1,055, while the symptomatic ones are instead 72. Registries arrived, especially that of swabs, seven months after the outbreak of the pandemic. The search for positives finally in a timely manner, given the high figures compared to those of the summer, doubles the fear among the population.
Figures that both scared De Luca as to induce him to launch this new document that weighs down even more already very rigid measures: “Strict measures have been adopted with the dual objective of limiting the circumstances of dangerous gatherings in all areas, private and public. , and with the aim of minimizing mobility difficult to control ». And again: “Due to the very high level of contagion – read the note – also registered in families and derived from contacts in the school world, in primary and secondary schools, face-to-face didactic and educational activities are suspended from 16 to 30 October”. Didactic activities are also suspended in universities except for first-year students. Parties are prohibited, “even as a result of civil or religious ceremonies, in public places, open public and private, indoors or outdoors, with guests outside the family life.” Then the blow to the already ultra-depressed world of food: “It is forbidden to sell with take-out food after 9 pm. Hospitality establishments that usually carry out take-out activities with delivery to users by car, who can exercise their own activity, in compliance with current prevention and security measures, ensuring a remote reservation system. However, home delivery is allowed without a time limit “. It is not over because funerals should also be streamlined: “Forms of aggregation and / or gatherings, indoors and outdoors, even related to celebratory events, which take place in the form of a procession (eg funeral processions ) and in any case not in a static way and with fixed positions. ”Last but not least, De Luca makes a” recommendation to local authorities to stagger the entry of employees. ”
So for De Luca it is mobility that he’s out of controlIn essence, the meetings are held on buses and in the subway. And this is because the means are few and the users are many. To avoid them, schools are closed. Very good? Wrong? The hope is that the 600 million disbursed by the Government in the coffers of the EAV -a subsidiary of the Region that controls transport- in addition to the ordinary financing, will soon give the expected results in terms of the fleet. Just as it is expected that in this second five-year period, speeding up the bids for the assignment of routes, to facilitate the entry into the planet of transport for national and international groups, both public and private, will be one of the priorities. To put it in De Luca’s words, we have to go beyond “political politics.” Today is Covid, who knows what it will be in the future, but it is certain that European mobility will make a difference in the lives of six million people in Campania when new emergencies arise. In this context, De Luca closed the schools not because there are outbreaks there but to prevent them from forming on the means of transport.
