The infections grow and the classes return to Dad even with only one infected
.
This was established by a ministerial circular signed yesterday evening, as anticipated today by some newspapers, such as Repubblica and Stampa.
"We were easy cassandre,
we had raised the alarm
just a few days after the publication of the joint Health-Education note no. 1218 of 6 November last. The schools, despite the many difficulties and with an immeasurable workload on the shoulders of the managers and staff, held up. The same cannot be said of the prevention departments that did not immediately succeed in guaranteeing the timing of the testing and in many cases did not apply those tracing procedures. "This is the comment of Antonello Giannelli, president of the Association of Deans at the I return to Dad even with only one infected.
"With the increase in pressure due to the rise of the cases, the rules of the protocol have jumped, forcing the use of Dad even with a single case of positivity in the classroom. The pandemic is far from its conclusion and we must all work together to counter it, starting with a more complete mass vaccination ", adds Antonello Giannelli, national president of the association of Deans.
"We urgently asked to meet the representatives of the Ministry of Health because
the circular has alarmed all school staff and has produced new problems.
to executives who will have to review the tracking procedures again. The urgency of the Ministry of Health makes us think that the anti-contagion measures cannot be underestimated. A gesture of responsibility on the part of everyone is necessary: it is not the time for screams but for dialogue to help the school arrive at the Christmas holidays with the greatest number of didactic activities in the presence ". Thus Maddalena Gissi (Cisl) at the ANSA.
On the school "we are facing a situation facing a constantly changing picture.
We had changed the protocol that included three positives for Dad. Given and considering that there is a strong increase in infected people among the under 12 (who are not yet vaccinated because there is no vaccine yet), we considered it prudent, with a choice shared with the Regions, to return to the initial forecast, with Dad in case of a positive in class. It is a measure that takes into account the current situation. "This is what the Undersecretary of Health Andrea Costa said speaking on Radio Anch'Io, on Radio 1.
Weekly incidence still growing
of the number of new cases of Sars-CoV-2 infection, in school age, equal to 125 per 100,000 inhabitants in the period 19-25 November, "a value far from the optimal one of 50 per 100,000, useful for a correct tracking of cases "for which it is considered" appropriate to temporarily suspend the 'surveillance with testing' program. Thus the circular signed by the dg Prevention of the Ministry of Health, Gianni Rezza, and by the Head of the Department for Human, Financial and Instrumental Resources of the Ministry of Health 'Education, Jacopo Greco, who establishes Dad even with a single infection.
