"We have taken on the responsibility of returning to presence, this is the keystone of this government", and after the holidays "we are returning to presence. We need everyone's responsibility, but this is our goal and we will do this". Thus the Minister of Education, Patrizio Bianchi, a guest of SkyTg24.
Bianchi recalled that "where there are extraordinary conditions, with isolated outbreaks, the regional presidents and mayors can arrange isolated, not widespread closures, and in order to verify the status in that cluster." "But our indication is that we return in attendance ”, he pointed out.
Just in the morning the alarm came from the principals, who, through the voice of the president of the National Association (NPC), Antonello Giannelli, ask that "the competent health authorities reconsider the use of Ffp2 masks at school".
"It is clear to me that in the past the CTS had advised against its generalized use - specifies Giannelli - but the peculiarities of the new Omicron variant could modify this evaluation".
"The children who use public and dedicated transport - Giannelli further clarifies - will already have to wear them to reach schools. The numbers of the infected in the last few hours tell us that the range of children is still the most affected, probably because among them the vaccinated are still too few ".
THE SCREENINGS - "We believe" that schools "should be protected as a fundamental protection of our country and a strengthening of screening, especially in the return phase, will be essential to create conditions of greater safety", said the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza in recent days.
And to ensure the screening activity, military health will also take the field. To "ensure the identification and tracing of positive cases in schools", Speranza specified, the Ministry of Defense "ensures support to regions and autonomous provinces in carrying out test administration activities" for Covid research and operations of "analysis and reporting through military laboratories" in the area.
An expenditure of 9 million is foreseen "to increase the diagnostic capabilities of military laboratories and ensure the correct performance of the activities".
