Monitor the progress of infections in schools with periodic tests for children and teachers.
This is the hypothesis taken into consideration by the Commissioner for the Covid Emergency, Francesco Figliuolo.
To submit the request - which will be evaluated definitively only in the next few days - was the Minister for Education Partizio Bianchi.
"If the epidemiological data bring Lazio back to the orange zone from Monday 29 March, the nursery schools, kindergartens, elementary schools and middle schools will reopen with activities in the presence. As regards the high schools, these will remain closed, continuing to ensure teaching at a distance. The decision concerns the days before the Easter holidays, ie 29, 30 and 31 March and will be formalized in the next few hours with a regional order signed by the President of the Lazio Region ". This was announced by Claudio Di Berardino, councilor for Labor, School and Training of the Lazio Region.
