Free unsanitary tests for students. Lombardy Region offers the possibility to book quick screenings for all students of upper secondary schools and vocational training institutes. The council approved, on the proposal of the vice president and councilor for welfare, Letizia Moratti, and in concert with the councilor for education, Fabrizio Sala, the resolution on this issue aimed at increase health surveillance and testing among students aged 14 to 19 and high school and non-teaching staff.

RESERVATIONS ON THE APP AND REGIONAL PLATFORM – The simplified path to activate antigen tests in the school environment is aimed at close contacts starting from the fifth day from the identification of a positive case. Reservations can be made on the regional platform www.prenotasalute.regione.lombardia.it or through the ‘Salutile Reservations’ app. In order to ensure the timely detection of cases and prevent outbreaks in the home environment. Also for this testing service the Lombardy Region will make use of the collaboration of the pharmacies that have joined the initiative. At the moment, the proposal has been accepted by around 600 pharmacies across the region representing around 20%. In order to carry out the swab, it is necessary ensure spacing: most have an external structure where to carry out the test with dedicated staff.The same organization also served in the future to offer citizens quick but paid tests and subsequently anti-Covid vaccinations.
INITIATIVE THAT IS IN ADDITION TO THAT OF PEDIATRICIANS AND PHARMACIES – “The initiative – explains the councilor for Welfare Letizia Moratti – is of great interest 1,345 schools, including upper secondary schools and professional institutes. The service provides a close collaboration and timely communications between the Ats, Aria spa and the school world. The proposal is in addition to the involvement of pediatricians for the minor age groups and pharmacies, already launched in recent weeks, for a service of proximity throughout the region to citizens in need of special attention “.
PHARMACIES STILL PROTAGONISTS – The regional booking service will then allow the booking to take the test within a maximum of 48 hours. For all antigenic tests performed, the pharmacies will have to record the outcome (both positive and negative) through a specific function, made available by Aria.
RESERVATIONS MOLECULAR PADS THROUGH REGIONAL SERVICE – Pharmacies, for tracking purposes, must also guarantee the insertion of the results (both positive and negative) carried out outside the regional health system. Pharmacies participating in the initiative will be distributed antigen tests provided by the Commissioner, according to methods that will be indicated by the Welfare Directorate General. Finally, in the event of a positive antigenic buffer to be confirmed, the reservation of the molecular buffer must always be made through the regional reservation network services.
INVESTING BY PREVENTING IN SCHOOLS – “The pandemic prevention and monitoring framework – adds Letizia Moratti – leads us at this stage to consider it appropriate to invest with actions in the school environment, which put students, teaching and non-teaching staff and families at the center. To this initiative, of course, we must always add the messages of prudence and awareness on the use of protective devices, personal hygiene, distancing and gatherings that I will never tire of repeating “.
