Green Pass school, Miozzo: “Extend it also to students over 12”

“The Green Pass is certainly a fundamental tool, but it is not the only one. We must also continue to follow the mantras of the fight against Covid, especially in schools: masks, distancing, sanitation of environments and hands. Maybe with the addition of sample tests, such as the salivary tests provided for in the plan for the school restart, which must however be well organized and really representative “. This is the warning launched in an interview with La Stampa by Agostino Miozzo, former coordinator of the CTS and former consultant of Minister Bianchi who, in the indications given to schools for their safe reopening, sees little clarity. The obligation of the Green Pass, he, would also extend it to students over 12. “Maybe not immediately – he says – but starting from mid-October, when everyone will have been given the opportunity to get vaccinated. The obligation should be accompanied by a important communication campaign that transforms it into a conscious choice. Without making terrorism it will be necessary to explain that with this damned Delta, unfortunately, we also see very young people ending up in intensive care, albeit in limited percentages. On the epidemic, the posts by Fedez and Ferragni than all the rest. I would recruit the 10 biggest influencers and open a social channel aimed at young people, who speak their language. Because now with the decline in the contagion curve, the tension has lowered but we must make the young people understand that it is not yet time to let your guard down “. And then he warns: “In the school from the central level, clear, solid indications must be given. Otherwise there is a risk of chaos”. There are chances of going back to Dad, says Miozzo: “I would still be moderately optimistic. That the closures of last year will be repeated is a remote hypothesis. In some schools it will trigger, but if the rules are respected and salivary tests will be well organized. the risk will be reduced “.
