Worried about the spread of the Omicron variant,

the mayor of Benevento Clemente Mastella does not rule out a further closure of schools after the Christmas holidays.


    "Omicron, it is now known, spreads at great speed - writes Mastella on his fb page - because it can also infect the immune to other variants, and the high number of infections can cause a collapse in hospitals with serious difficulties in the health system and for our tried and tested staff. Therefore, we must try to avoid occasions of contagion that are too easy, and school is one of them.

Hence my decision at the beginning of the week to close for two days.

I believe that in January we will reach 100 thousand infected a day but I am optimistic because soon a first antiviral will arrive which should raise the level of protection.

We will have to resist and I fear that the school will have to suffer a further sacrifice ", he concludes.
