Covid school and return, principals open to dad

“The return” to school “in dad would make sense only if the time interval prior to the return in presence were used to achieve some results: more vaccinated pupils, development of a plan for the distribution of ffp2, the organization of a screening campaign “. So at the Adnkronos the president of the National Association of Presidents Antonello Giannelli who adds: “But we have not received feedback on any of these points, so from today to 7 presumably nothing will be done of what we have asked for. To arrive at 7 January with certain actions in progress, it was necessary to start from before “. “I believe that the Government wants to keep schools open at all costs because thanks to this many citizens can work. Many workers with children under 14 could not do so in closed schools” “, Giannelli said, recalling that” the vaccination of children is under 10%. The number, even if it’s been a short time, is a bit low. More was expected. We need to encourage the campaign “.

“Furthermore – continues the NPC president – the total number of infections at school does not seem to be high, while the damage that would result from the closure would be enormous in terms of the general economy. In the balance between costs and benefits, I believe that the Government has decided that it is preferable come back in presence “. How high are the infections in schools? “There is a need for the publication of statistics, given that schools enter data relating to pupils’ infections, which it would be useful to know – replies Giannelli – I am stopped before Christmas, I had made an estimate of ten thousand classes, out of a total of 200 thousand. Considering an average of 20 pupils per class, about 200 thousand pupils are infected, which is a drop on the total student population “. are limited to those who are not vaccinated and do not want to get vaccinated. Out of 50 thousand unvaccinated, 10 thousand of whom cannot be vaccinated are therefore exempt, 40 thousand remain, some of whom are being vaccinated, the other is resisting. Who does not intend to get vaccinated? It could be 10 thousand but it could also be twenty thousand. If this is the case, it is conceivable that 10-15 thousand no vax disease certificates will arrive in schools. Of these 15 thousand one tenth in Lombardy “. Are there more no vaxes among the teachers or Ata staff? “The school staff is made up of 4/5 teachers and 1/5 of Ata, that is, 80 percent are teachers and 20 percent, about 200 thousand places, janitors, secretarial clerks and technical assistants … I don’t have reason to believe that there are disparities, we would need a statistic on actual data that is not there “.” The estimate of the total number of school staff not vaccinated because they do not want or cannot is about 40-50 thousand. Lombardy followed by Lazio, Campania and Sicily have about a tenth of the total staff, therefore about 4-5 thousand non-vaccinated teachers and ATA staff “, said Giannelli, adding:” There are regions, however, that despite the population being smaller, have a greater concentration no vax among the school staff. In addition to Trentino and Friuli Venezia Giulia there is Romagna, with cities such as Rimini and Ravenna “. Then there is the case of Sicily: “E ‘no vax? Yes and no. It is a region that has been impressed by the cases of deaths following the administration of Astrazeneca. People are hesitant, but I have no doubt that now they are going to get vaccinated. We should wait a few more weeks to understand how the situation has evolved “.
