TURIN. Of the 490 places available, 2,600 applied. Many aspiring medical students took the entrance examination organized by the University of Turin at the Lingotto Fiere this morning. It was the first major concentration of people after Covid with the university that has implemented strict security measures.
Each student, forced to wear a mask already in the square in front of the fairgrounds, had their self-certification first withdrawn, then their temperature was measured. At the end of the checks, each candidate received a bag containing a mask, pens, to leave their personal effects. The test lasted 100 minutes and ended around 1:30 p.m.
To guarantee the regular access procedure, the university and GL Events, owner of the structure, also requested the help of volunteers from the alpine troops, civil protection and the carabinieri.
In front of the entrances there were also some representatives of the Communist Youth Front, who displayed a banner against the limited number. Nationwide there are 66,000 candidates for 13,000 posts, an increase of 5,000 over last year at the behest of the government. An increase that does not satisfy the protesters, who recalled how the need for doctors and nurses is actually much greater: “For some time the lack of at least 50,000 nurses and tens of thousands of doctors has been denounced,” said the secretary. provincial Fgc – and precisely the limited number of medical schools is one of those measures that have destroyed public health.
