COVID-19: a few weeks fromstart of school and it is chaos in many institutions.
At the moment there is more than a thousand schools having registered at least one contagion. In total i 1200 are infected in schools (and 11% are teachers). A situation that has already turned out 130 schools closing and on the return of distance education for many students.
And there is no shortage of families calling for the closure of schools, convinced that the reopening of classes was a mistake. In addition, many schools are unable to respect the protocol imposed by the CTS, so much so that in classes there is no social distancing and the only security measure is the one that forces students to wear a mask throughout the school day.
There is also the concern clear increase in infections: The highest peak since the end of the blockade was recorded yesterday, with 2,844 new cases. The contagion curve is on the rise and it must be said that it does not yet depend on the reopening of schools since the impact of this event will only be visible in a few weeks.
A situation that is leading the Government to approve new restrictions to limit the increase in infections: in this sense, with the new DPCM that will be discussed on the night of Monday, October 5, there could be novelty for the obligation of the mask and for him early closure of bars and restaurants.
The government wants to keep schools open
In recent days, the Prime Minister has been met with the Minister of Health and with him CTS discuss the measures to be taken in view of the resurgence of infections.
New restrictions to ensure that the Government can avoid the scenario where the only possible solution to contain infections is the one offered by a new emergency shutdown widespread.
For this reason, a sacrifice will be requested from the Italians, as an obligation of wear the mask even outdoors and at all hours of the day. And not only that: a closing time at 11pm.
Sacrifices were needed to keep schools open. As stated in the file prepared at the aforementioned meeting, in fact, the common objective is to keep schools open as much as possible. For the moment, therefore, there will be no return to distance learning, except of course in those cases in which schools are forced to close due to force majeure. But how long can this situation last?
Schools will have to close (sooner or later)
We wonder whether the government will maintain this position, namely the wanting to keep schools open, even in the case of a second wave, an increasingly likely scenario according to experts.
It must be said that even in Europe, in those countries where the number of infections is much higher than in Italy, schools have remained open, except for some sporadic cases.
However, we are still in October; there the resurgence of infections has just begun And soon the numbers could get worse. Italian schools may not be prepared to handle such a situation and the number of schools closed could increase even more.
But on the other hand, the government spoke of “keep schools open as much as possible”, Probably convinced that There will come a time when a decision will have to be made., evaluating whether or not the conditions exist to ensure that students go to class despite the general increase in infections.
