It is difficult and dangerous to go back to school on January 7 also for Giorgio Palù, a virologist at the University of Padua and president of Aifa, the Italian drug agency. “I am concerned about the idea of reopening everything after the Epiphany, starting with the schools,” he told reporters. Palù highlighted the result of a study that “shows that the exponential increase in infections in autumn was generated after September 14”. “For high schools and colleges, therefore, it is best to avoid recovery on January 7th. The elderly are a danger for parents and grandparents ”.
According to Antonello Giannelli, president of the ANP, it is good to wait for the opinions of the health authorities: “luckily we have some time until January 7.

Some suggestions for the reboot in January also come from Usr for Sicily, which in a note recommends splitting classes, rotating inputs, and shorter lessons but with recovery in asynchronous mode.
