“The contagion is growing too much, I take responsibility for the decision on distance education”

“Unfortunately, the line of contagion is growing and there are 5,000 more positives than yesterday and 350 more hospitalizations between intensive and non-intensive care.” The president of the Lombardy Region said: Attilio fontana, meeting the press on the sidelines of call with all the mayors of the provincial capital to whom he explained the data in detail to explain why distance education in secondary schools was organized “for a short period”.

“I explained to them – the governor added – to have also discussed it with the director of the school’s regional office, Augusta Celada, who gave me the will to accept this request and make sure that schools can concretely carry out distance education. Some of them – he continued – do not accept the ordinance limited to distance education and I reiterated clearly and explicitly that I personally take responsibility for the decision.. I did it because our main task is to protect the health of children, parents and their grandparents ”.

“We have a duty to take any action that may interrupt the circulation of the virus. We trust that these measures -concluded the governor- can stop the contagion and in this period we will work with the government to be able to implement all the other initiatives that we have proposed to overcome distance education ”.
