Region oriented to postpone the resumption of face-to-face lessons at the high school initially scheduled for January 7. “It is too risky to reopen the institutions now.”
TRIESTE. The decision will be communicated in the morning, but last night the Region was oriented to postpone the recovery in the presence of the secondary schools. President Giuseppe Conte insists on starting again at 50% but, if the election of the board is confirmed after the night summit with the government, for the last cycle of education in Friuli Venezia Giulia will remain 100% distant after Christmas.
President Massimiliano Fedriga shares the concern of the other governors about the restart of the school year and, beyond what will be the lines of Rome, it could proceed with a restrictive order, while the controversy over the modes of action of the Executive, which yesterday he summoned the Regions in a meeting around 9:30 pm, with an invitation issued only in the late afternoon and anticipated by the press.
The hot spots are education and vaccines, but Fedriga focuses above all on the former: «The age group between 10 and 20 years is the one with the highest percentage of infected, equal to 18%. It is not possible to think of opening schools with good spirits and even the unions say so. According to the governor, “it is essential to reopen in presence but, if it reopens, you have to go to the end because stop going it would be devastating. The Region can make an ordinance and start over at dab, but let’s see what the government wants to do. Tomorrow today, ed) we will communicate the decision ”through a conference by the Health Councilors Riccardo Riccardi, Education Alessia Rosolen and Graziano Pizzimenti Transport.
The discontent in the Region, however, has deeper roots and Fedriga’s attack is political: “The government always goes to the last. Two days ago I told Minister Boccia that there are a series of open questions, but that they decide on the basis of the strength of their weak majority. Such behavior is a problem during a pandemic.
Another controversial point is that of vaccines, which started slowly throughout Italy and the subject of a fierce battle between the center and the suburbs: Rome accuses the Regions of not having started prophylaxis in health care quickly enough and Regions accuse Rome of sending the vials additional personnel late and not yet guaranteed for the bites. Fedriga does not send them to say: «The personnel problem is something very serious. There was a government commitment to give us doctors and nurses, but Commissioner Arcuri was able to sign the contract with the agencies against his will only since the beginning of the year, because the financial coverage arrived at the end of 2020. Now we will lose more time between interviews. and hiring procedures, while it is up to the Regions to transfer health personnel from essential tasks. A fundamental vaccination campaign cannot be organized in this way. ‘ Next, the governor underlines that “increasing the available doses is also central”: a claim made in the awareness that Fvg is among the most punctual territories in the administrations carried out so far.
The confrontation with the government was still continuing at the time of closing this article. On the table were the tightening with respect to the parameters that are the basis of the three risk bands (the Fvg is heading back towards criticality), the introduction of the red zone on weekends, the possible tightening of the transferred curfew to 20 of 22.
Fedriga wants to understand the intentions of the government, but does not hide that “health data is deteriorating everywhere and the entire Northeast is very affected: we cannot underestimate it. In our case, the percentage of new positives tested is always below the national average, but the occupation of non-intensive beds is of concern. If the curve were to sharpen, an already loaded system I do not know how it would hold: today in Great Britain people no longer have places in the hospital and Covid is starting again strong in Austria. It is necessary to identify the places of greatest aggregation and the behaviors of greatest risk, intervening there. –
