Education Minister Lucía Azzolina is forced to speed up and provide data on Covid infections at school a few days earlier than she expected: these are always last week’s numbers, that is, the infections counted by principals up to on September 3 and sent through a questionnaire that must be completed weekly in the ministry. To reduce the confusion and the fears that begin to circulate even among teachers, teachers and parents, here is the trend of contagions in the classroom according to the Ministry of Education.. The trend continues to grow but without peaks: cases range from 1,492 (as of September 26) to 2,348, that is, from 0.021 percent to 0.037 among students. Among teachers, those infected grow to 402 cases, that is, 0.059 (they were 349, 0.047) while among school personnel last week there was a total of 144 which is 0.079 percent against 116 at the end of September (0.059 percent) .

Few outbreaks but outdated data
The data released by the MIUR – referring to a week ago and not divided by type of school or region – follow for a few hours those of the Higher Institute of Health that certified that school outbreaks are residual, the remaining 2.5 percent of the total. But they give way to Minister Azzolina to repeat that “the school is a safer and more protected place than others.” “Because at school – he explains – there are precise rules that students follow in an orderly manner, thanks also to the commitment of all school personnel.” But the unions are critical and ask for more transparency: with 223 schools closed and at least 1,493 those in which there has been at least one case of coronavirus since the beginning of the school year (these are the numbers from the website of Vittorio Nicoletta and Lorenzo Ruffino) “It would be good if the minister, I do not mean every day – suggests the secretary of the Uil Pino Turi school – but with a fixed periodicity, he released the numbers of the monitoring that he activated in schools and that it allows us to give the data in real time. The concern that we are told on a daily basis is leading us to activate our own monitoring to understand the real dimensions of the discomfort, both health and therefore organizational in schools “.
