Return to school and Super green pass, today control room and Cdm

Busy day for the government struggling with the increase in covid infections and the run of the Omicron variant. At Palazzo Chigi there is a control room between the Prime Minister and the heads of delegation of the majority forces to close the dl with the new anti-Covid measures, therefore the confrontation with the Regions and, subsequently, the Council of Ministers, not yet summoned but expected in the afternoon. Read also On the executive table there are the Super green pass at work, the return to school from 10 January after the Christmas holidays, smart working. And then the extension of the vaccination obligation against Covid. Given the frictions that shake the majority, it is possible that the mandatory reinforced green certification for workers will not arrive in the CDM. The game, however, is still open. As far as the Super green pass is concerned, we are moving towards a tightening only on some categories, those that risk sending the national health system into trouble. Among these, there could be the elderly, who risk ending up in hospital due to Covid. According to Adnkronos from government sources, this would be the line that seems to prevail in these hours at Palazzo Chigi, yesterday at the center of a whirlwind of meetings. The extension of the vaccination passport should therefore arrive, but to a more restricted extent, that is, touching sections of the population considered more vulnerable or categories of workers considered most exposed to risk, as has already happened for health, school and police personnel. In order to combat the pandemic peak, the appeal could be revised, both for private and public work. As for the school chapter, despite the resistance of various regions, the government is oriented to confirm the return in attendance from next January 10th. The Regions, who wished the CTS to express themselves on the subject, met yesterday in the Conference of Presidents. In the document drawn up with the proposals to the government in view of returning to class, the Regions have identified thresholds: from one case for kindergarten to 3 or more cases for primary secondary schools (for subjects aged equal to or greater than 12 years) and second degree. The Regions substantially hypothesize different rules depending on whether they are the youngest students, such as in kindergarten, where it is practically impossible to maintain distance and compliance with prevention measures, or in elementary school, where vaccination coverage is still low, and the over 12 According to this scheme, the hypothesis would trigger the quarantine for the class at the kindergarten with only one positive Covid case. In elementary school, the hypothesis would be to keep everyone in the classroom with only one case: the contacts would remain in the classroom in self-surveillance with the recommendation to refrain from attending environments other than the school, without testing. In this case, the seven-day quarantine would be triggered in the presence of two or more cases, with antigen or molecular tests between the fifth and seventh day. second degree, on the other hand, the proposal would identify a threshold of 3 or more cases to trigger seven days of quarantine with antigen or molecular tests between the fifth and seventh day, while up to 2 cases the contacts would remain in the classroom in self-monitoring with the recommendation to refrain from attendance of environments other than the school, without testing. According to the proposal of the Regions, however, the possibility of the ASL to adopt further measures to suspend the teaching in presence in the single school or institute on the basis of specific cases remains unaffected. According to the Regions, moreover, it would be useful “to avoid the resumption of physical education, singing and use of wind instruments, verify the correctness of the consumption of meals in the canteen, promote greater use of Ffp2 and be careful to ensure correct ventilation. classrooms “. The Regions would also have asked to change the calculation of admissions for Covid. In other words, the Regions ask to revise the calculation by not including in the statistics of those hospitalized for Covid those patients who, hospitalized for other reasons, were usually subjected to a swab and found positive, perhaps asymptomatic. The calculation of admissions affects the statistics related to pressure in hospitals up to the definition of the bands related to the restrictions, and then clarifies if and how it is intended to proceed for the administration of the fourth dose of vaccine. It is one of the issues that, according to what is learned, the Regions intend to put to the government. Governors believe that if the government intends to proceed in that direction, it is necessary to organize immediately in order to continue the vaccination campaign. community contexts.
