In the usual Friday live broadcast on his Facebook page, the President of the Campania Region Vincenzo De Luca declared that we are moving towards the extension of the closure of schools in our Region, but only of the elementary and medium.
The final and definitive decision, however, will be made after the opinion of the ASL.
These are the school grades in which the greatest number of infections is recorded, also because most of the pupils have not been vaccinated. If the decision is confirmed and formalized, it will be necessary to proceed with the Dad.
We also remember that almost certainly Campania will go into the yellow zone.
Infections in schools in Campania
The fear of the Governor is great because Covid runs fast and in schools the number is really high. According to the report of the Crisis Unit of the Campania Region of last January 4, there are 23 positives among school staff, teachers and students and only the infected students are at least 18.
Under these conditions it would not be wise to reopen schools as early as January 10, as required by the national decree, but the President would like to keep them closed at least for the whole month.
De Luca's words:
In this condition I believe it is irresponsible to open schools on January 10th. As far as we are concerned, I believe that we will not reopen middle and elementary school. Our health facilities are working right now, I think there will soon be a Crisis Unit and I believe he will take note of this situation responsibly.
I believe that we will go to the extension of the opening of the school year at the end of January for elementary and middle schools. For the rest, we will carefully follow the situation of the contagion and the epidemic trying to do everything in our ability to guarantee the principals, teachers and families the maximum possible health care and prevention to avoid even heavier and more serious situations. .
