There is a great "uncertainty in scientific communication, there are no certainties, there is no uniformity not only in Europe but throughout the world: there is no country that does what its neighboring country does. This generates problems: we are called to give indications, and it is frustrating to know that we ourselves are not able to give solid certainties to those who have to plan ". Thus the president of the CTS Agostino Miozzo before the Education Commission of the Chamber. "Everyone realizes that there are risks but they are assessed on the scales that are absolute on the need to reopen the school", continued Miozzo. Distance, use of masks, hygiene, remain fundamental - Miozzo clarified - as foreseen by the scientific community. "We have adopted the parameter of the meter and on that we have set the setting for everything".
"If you want to fill the school bus, a maximum time of 15 minutes for close contact must be well prepared": the journey of the children on the school bus at maximum capacity must be less than a quarter of an hour. The coordinator of the CTS Agostino Miozzo said this to the Education Commission of the Chamber. "On local public transport we have given some indications that we are formalizing: the need to increase the number of journeys, reorganization of entry and exit times to delay peak times, disinfectants on board the means of transport, solicitation to use the Immuni app" .
"I made the serological tests mandatory for teachers because of their own certainty and that of those around for a sense of responsibility. It is an invasive procedure that must have a regulatory path, but you are the representatives of parliament", he added Miozzo, answering questions from deputies in the Education Committee in the Chamber. "During the school year we imagined there will be clusters, samples for both teachers and students. It is a recommendation that the committee has already imagined it can give and support".
There is "nothing granite" about the bezels. "In two weeks we will see how the epidemic is going: if it shoots upwards, other precautions will probably have to be taken but we are convinced this will not happen; if necessary, local lockdowns will be needed, the total one is memory of the past, not we will have to imagine it more ", says Miozzo, adding that the CTS is evaluating the use of transparent masks for teachers to see" if they are compatible with the job "without there being any risk margins and recalled that the structure of Commissioner Arcuri will supply 10 million masks to schools
Green light of the Conference of the Regions to the document with the "Operational indications for the management of cases and outbreaks of SARS-CoV-2 in schools and in childhood education services".
"Apart from a change to make it more consistent with the other documents - explained the education coordinator, Cristina Grieco, councilor in Tuscany - it was shared. Tomorrow there is the unified conference and there will be the definitive go-ahead".
"The Conference of the Regions - according to what is learned from the vice president of Friuli Venezia Giulia with delegations to Health and Civil Protection, Riccardo Riccardi - has approved the operational indications for Covid19 cases and outbreaks in schools and childhood education services. Concerns remain for classrooms and transport ".
The idea of the Government of equating classmates with relatives to avoid the problem of the distance meter on transport "does not particularly agree" with the president of Lombardy Attilio Fontana because, explains the governor himself, "that is a round: either you can or you can't. And if you can't, you can find other solutions. Problems must be solved not with tricks. " "We must have the courage to say how things are - explained Fontana on the sidelines of the presentation of the Formula 1 GP in Monza -. I believe that we must have the courage to say that on the occasion of the resumption of activities we can, if the CTS will believe it will increase the percentage transported on public transport ".
