Covid-19, English variant danger on schools. The hypothesis: elementary schools and kindergartens closed in the red areas


The Minister of Education, Patrizio Bianchi, was clear: the reopening of schools must be carried out at 100%, but the schools are in danger of the English variant with the risk of new closures.

The English variant of Covid-19 foxes even the youngest children contrary to what has happened so far with the virus. Indeed: this time the most at risk would be the children of the 0-9 range, according to what emerged in the meetings of the CTS ..

The real knot seems to have become the elementary school, which in recent months – except in Campania and Puglia – had always remained open.

In Campania, the explosion of new cases has already sparked a new clash between the governor Vincenzo De Luca – immediately ready to close the schools – and the mayor of Naples Luigi De Magistris, in favor of limited and targeted interventions.

While in Puglia the councilor for health Pierluigi Lopalco announced in the last hours the intention to put new restrictions on the school “Because the virus affects the youngest”, but specified that he is awaiting new indications from the government “Because the Apulian situation is similar to that of all the Italian regions where the new variants are spreading”.
