In Dragona and its surroundings 23 families will spend Christmas in isolation. They are mothers, fathers and children of the municipal nursery “Argento vivo”, where a teacher, a substitute teacher present at the school last week, underwent the rapid test, testing positive. The rumor that ran in the mothers’ chats – “a teacher is positive” – was confirmed verbally, at the entrance of the school, to some parents. However, the youngest were allowed in, in the absence of an official ASL provision. But then, at lunchtime, with the children in the classroom, the note came from the local health authority, Roma 3, and effectively closed the section, arranging for the little ones (and, automatically, for their families) fiduciary isolation . “At one in the afternoon they called us to pick up the children,” says a mother. But the little ones, meanwhile, had already spent hours and hours together, among themselves, risking, therefore, that the virus potentially circulates even more. in the case of one or more children infected in turn by the substitute teacher they had seen a few days ago ”.
Families now want to see clearly. They specifically wonder why ASL failed to communicate the provision of isolation within the children’s entry time. But also because the school, knowing this morning of the substitute’s positivity, has not decided to close independently, as a precaution, even without an ASL provision in hand. Who knows, perhaps because of the fear of a complaint for interruption of public service by a parent.
Called by some families, meanwhile, the ASL has specified that only one of the two parents, with all the necessary precautions, will still be able to leave the house for tasks related to the so-called “basic needs”: that is, it can go from shopping, but even go, for example, to the pharmacy. However, the ASL advised avoiding contact with the child. Which, being kindergarten kids (3-5 years old), can be quite a feat.
The “moment” of what happened makes families even more desperate, a few days before Christmas Eve that they had organized with at least two grandparents or a couple of uncles. And the cousins in tow, as required by law, to discard all gifts and play until curfew. But for these 23 families, Christmas will instead be isolated, in a difficult psychological condition, which will only improve if at the end of the 10 days of isolation (if with a tampon, 14 without a tampon) the children have not developed symptoms attributable to Covid- 19.
