Contagion boom, San Marino anticipates the closure of schools
The virus spreads and the Titan runs for cover by anticipating the closure of schools. Belluzzi: «The real victims of Covid are the boys. We need immediate answers ».
The holidays of San Marino students will start well in advance but there is little to celebrate, considering the flare-up of infections that yesterday brought to 478 active cases with 105 positives in the last 24 hours. In detail, a twisted calendar in hand, for the children of nursery, kindergarten and elementary school the last day of school will be December 17, while for middle, high school and vocational training the Dad will start from 20. “We are witnessing an alarming record of positives – comments the Secretary of Education Andrea Belluzzi -. There are 2 sections of childhood in quarantine, while in Dad we have 10 elementary school classes and 7 middle school classes ». Thus the school buildings will close their doors prematurely, “in line with next Monday’s Decree”.
The reasons for the stop
A decision made in the light of two facts. First: the ways in which Healthcare treats cases at school, because “when there is a positive, the class goes to quarantine for a week, waiting for the swab”. And second: «The explosion of infections heralds an average of 500 tampons a day. So – he specifies – to lighten the load from the shoulders of the health workers, we play in advance ». Hoping that “citizens understand the value of such sacrifices.”
Transportation problem
On the other node, school transport, he discussed with his colleague Teodoro Lonfernini, who has the competent delegation. Therefore, he clarifies “the implementation plan of the means will be launched from Monday. But not only. During the hours dedicated to students, ordinary users will not be able to get on the vehicles (in accordance with the ISS, ed) “. And faced with Libera’s question “with whom will the children stay at home?”, He replies that the “Decree provides that one of the parents, always the same, can stay with children up to 14 years with paid leave”.
But victory cannot be claimed. “Dad is the lesser of evils – he notes – but it is not a good thing”. And he underlines: «These generations are victims of Covid, because they live the training path that defines them as individuals, suffering psychological injuries, from which a social problem arises with an infinite number of cases from self-harm onwards. It creates disturbance even just seeing the children at the canteens, distant and alienated ». And again: «Healthcare and Schools change gear taking up the challenge and elaborating answers. Those who now open their arms must make room for those who want to throw their hearts over the obstacle ”, they conclude. The same frequency for the acting ISS director general Sergio Rabini: «The crackdown is the attempt to protect the country by safeguarding Christmas and grandparents in a cascade. What we were asking, as it happened, was not to penalize only this reality, but to involve them all, so as not to frustrate the efforts ». And examining the causes of the surge to close the circle, the doctor mentions “the general easing of attention, after two dramatic years”.
