School, Pacifico (Anief): “salivary test is free from 1 September and equivalent to rapid”

Anief, the National Association of Teachers and Trainers, asks the Prime Minister Mario Draghi, the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza, the Minister of Education Patrizio Bianchi and the Maria Cristina Messa University “to equate the free salivary test with the antigenic one. rapid for the detection of Sars-Cov-2 and the issuance of the green Covid certification for school and university staff as well as for university students obliged to possess the Green pass “according to article 1 of decree law 111/21. The national president Anief, Marcello Pacifico, talks about it with Adnkronos, announcing the sending of the request of the Union (which last August 14 did not sign the Memorandum of Understanding with the MI) to Draghi and the competent ministries. “If the nasopharyngeal swab is repeated every 48 hours it can be invasive, therefore the union requires that starting from September 1st, in view of the resumption of the school year, salivary tests are administered free of charge and included among the antigenic swabs valid for the green pass “, considering that on the basis of the data released so far, it would appear that” 185,571 individuals among the school staff and millions of school students of all types and levels as well as enrolled in universities are not in possession of the vaccination “. In addition, the trade unionist points out, the decree is still “pending the examination of Parliament for conversion into law”, as well as “subject to scrutiny of legitimacy at the Administrative and Labor Court for the contrast to the Community legislation that establishes – concludes – that no member state can discriminate on the basis of possession of the Green pass “.
