Covid and school, Emiliano: “No one can be forced to risk getting infected”

“During a global pandemic, no one can be forced to risk getting infected if there is a means to reduce the risk. Even essential workers cannot be forced to expose themselves without masks, coveralls, gloves and masks.” It is the “personal legal conviction” expressed by the governor of Puglia Michele Emiliano in a message sent to the Facebook community “Apulian parents in favor of Dad”. After publishing, the post was deleted but recorded numerous shares. “So – Emiliano argues – those who do not want to take the risk are not obliged to go to school. And Dad greatly reduces the risk of infections”. “This right – continues Emiliano – is currently recognized only to fragile students and I hope also to students living with other fragile students. But in my opinion this right belongs to everyone, even those who do not want to go to school in the exercise of their right to health. . In this case, faced with the refusal of the dad by the school managers, the families could challenge the provision before the TAR. ”
