The register changes again at school. The return to class, now expected almost everywhere on January 10, will be marked by new rules on distance learning and quarantines. And the distinction between vaccinated and unvaccinated returns, which the principals and unions do not like, but only middle and high schools.
THE NEW STANDARDS - In elementary school, in the case of a positive one remains in the presence with an antigenic or molceolar test to be performed immediately and another after five days. In the presence of two positives instead all in dad for ten days.
On the other hand, in the middle and high schools , up to one positive cases, one remains in presence with Ffp2 masks and self-monitoring. With two cases, on the other hand, those who have not completed the vaccination cycle for less than four months (120 days) end up in 10 days, while the others can continue in the presence with self-monitoring and Ffp2. In the third case of positivity, ten days of dad for everyone.
TESTS - The decree also provides free rapid tests for students in self-monitoring until February 28, with an allocation of 92 million euros. Students will have the opportunity to go to pharmacies with a GP's prescription.
THE PRESIDI - "Making the distinction between vaccinated and unvaccinated is a discriminatory measure among students", thunders the president of the National Presidi Association Antonello Giannelli. "I would have preferred something different - he adds -. It is right and correct, however, to distinguish on the basis of age, because different vaccination situations correspond to different groups".
According to Giannelli, moreover, "the measures can only work if the Local Health Authorities are rapid and, unfortunately, this is not the case. Local services are undersized compared to the needs of citizens. I believe that the health system, both of the Local Health Authorities and pharmacies, is in congestion. I wonder how the necessary swabs will be done in time to check for a possible infection in schools ".
