School: Farmacap commissioner, ‘carpet test before return, Lazio region receives proposal’

“The Lazio region acknowledges the idea of ​​using the public facilities of Farmacap (a subsidiary company of the municipality of Rome that manages 45 municipal pharmacies – ed), for carrying out salivary and antigen tests of students and teachers in view of their return in September”. The proposal was launched by the extraordinary commissioner Jacopo Marzetti who explained to Adnkronos: “as a Child Guarantor I gave recommendations, now as Commissioner of a socio-health pharmaceutical company, I propose solutions to ensure safe return to school and continuity of face-to-face teaching for the well-being of the community. The capital could lead the way in a pilot project, in which, after a mass screening before reopening, rapid swabs or salivary tests could be carried out on a weekly basis to avoid spread of the virus “. Farmacap, according to the former Guarantor, could also guarantee “the procurement and distribution in schools of kits paid by the Region containing Fp2 masks and disinfectant gel for all Roman students. We have 350 employees – he recalls – 200 qualified pharmacists that can be used for the carrying out of tests as well as antigenic also salivary (as they are not certifiable or reliable, but useful above all for the little ones) and 150 administrators who could manage the reception and analysis of the acquired data. We use – urges Marzetti – these public structures which Rome, as well as other Italian municipalities, has to help the population in the pandemic. There are 10 days left for the opening of schools and a company organization is needed to be able to provide these services. Therefore, responses from the Region are necessary “.
