It is a matter of days and we will clarify tampons in schools and the rules for isolation and quarantine of classes and entire schools.: the Higher Institute of Health led by Silvio Brusaferro is drafting a document to specify who needs to do the molecular tests (the traditional ones that in this period require a few days for the report, due to the queues), to whom the antigen tests (the rapid tests with nose sampling that have already been authorized for screening in airports and since September 29 in schools), to whom rapid tests of salivary antigens (which are currently in the validation process).
The three lines of intervention
The current guidance of the experts of the Ministry of Health, which will have to be shared with the entire CTS, to modify the current regulations in three lines of intervention that should serve above all to allow the lessons to continue in an orderly manner and without excessive losses of weather. to delays and confusion.
Rapid tests
Go to rapid tests in case of Covid symptoms of a student or teacher to have the answer in a few tens of minutes and, where appropriate, to be able to decide the isolation of all contacts, to which the rapid test would then be done. In the case of positive response and contagion, but only in this case, the second traditional confirmation swab would be done, which requires more time for the result but also more sensitive. For now, these rapid nasal tests are likely to have more false positives than false negatives.
Mandatory test after quarantine
Reduction of quarantine from 14 to 10 days for all positive student or teacher contacts, but with tests to confirm negativity before returning to school Again, this could be a quick swab.
Salivary test for screening
Introduction of rapid saliva detection test in schools, which is less invasive than nasal detection and therefore more suitable for children.
