Schools, Zaia: “Let’s face it, Draghi ask Cts for an opinion”

Schools closed or in presence in time of Omicron variant? For the governor of Veneto, Luca Zaia, “between the defections of sick or quarantined and unvaccinated teachers, the situation is difficult. Draghi gets an opinion from the technical-scientific committee on schools: we all understood that it is not the boys’ fault, because the infection is growing and the schools were closed, but it is equally true that the crowd that is created certainly does not help. In Veneto this morning 800 thousand people, for better or for worse, will be confined for 5 hours in classrooms and if there they will be positive it will be inevitable that the contagion will be helped in its spread. We are all for the school in the presence, there are no ideological positions, but we have to look reality in the face “, explains the president of Veneto in Mattino 5 on the day of return to class .

Even secondary school children will have to do self-monitoring by going to the pharmacy. This is a false opening – he says -. Mine is the region that does more tampons in 24 hours every day, about 160 thousand, but we can’t do more tampons and these we have to do more than the new school rules will never be made. We have a war machine for tampons but we have to use more DIY: the kid in contact with a positive will go to quarantine and it is useless to have him do a tampon. The technical committee national scientific team can give us an opinion on the reopening of the school “.” I represent a region that did not open schools in January 2021 – adds Zaia -, this summer a decree was made and then converted to September and which establishes that the governors can intervene on the closure of schools only if in the red zone. My Veneto is in the yellow zone. Here it is not a question of being for or against the obligation to vaccinate but it is impossible to vaccinate more because one cannot think that a person will be brought to vaccination by the public force. The way out is for this nightmare to end, but we are worried about a slow and inexorable increase in hospital activity. But I don’t think there will be more lockdowns, we can’t get people vaccinated and then lock them up at home, we need to enforce the rules and make wise choices “.
