"Conducting serological tests for all school staff in conjunction with the start of teaching activities" and carrying out "sample tests for the student population on a periodic basis. The following criteria will be adopted for these purposes: voluntary participation in the test, free of charge for users, tests at primary medical facilities and not at educational institutions ". This is what the draft protocol of understanding between MIUR and trade unions provides to guarantee the start of the school year. 

"Identification in all schools of the competent doctor who carries out the health surveillance service". The draft provides for this. The document concerns the requests made by the social partners, which have already been submitted to the ministries of Education and Health and to the CTS. 

"I reply to all those who are perplexed: it is clear that on September 14, I repeat once again, we will return to school, and for this I want to reassure all those who have expressed perplexities", said Lucia Azzolina, Minister of Education , at the end of the regional table for the resumption in September which was held today in Florence at the regional school office of Tuscany. 

"There has been a huge amount of work that the local authorities have done on the spaces: my task will obviously be to give more staff to Tuscany, as well as to the other regions that have asked for it," added Lucia Azzolina.
