With the end of the state of emergency, Dad disappears for the whole class even at the kindergarten. Only after the 4th positive case should the Ffp2 mask be kept for 10 days. However, there is still the obligation to wear surgical masks and, for the staff, to be vaccinated. But those who do not will be used for “support activities”.
From 1 April stop at Dad for Covid negative students, regardless of vaccination or recovery status. The surgical masks remain starting from the primary, as well as on the means of transport, even if of the ffp2 type at least until the end of next month. It will not be possible to access institutes with respiratory symptoms or fever and, as regards outsiders, without the basic Green Pass at least until 30 April. There remains the recommendation to keep the distance of one meter and the vaccination obligation for all school staff. As regards the management of positive cases in the classroom, for all cycles the obligation of the Ffp2 mask is triggered after the fourth positivity in the same group (except for younger children). These are the main provisions of the so-called Reopening Decree – just published in the Official Gazette – as regards the school. The portalSkuola.net has summarized the main steps.
Therefore, in view of the end of the state of emergency – starting next April 1st – the Government has defined the provisions for overcoming the anti-Covid measures also in the school environment. Measures that follow those already included in the so-called “Ukraine decree”, published on 21 March, which provided for the extension of the staff for the emergency until the end of the lessons. Reopening Decree: what changes from 1 April to school
Those who hoped for a “free all” will be partly disappointed. The anti-Covid measures, at least at school, remain substantially unchanged, albeit with some changes that further loosen the links compared to the past. As the Ministry of Education also announces, in all institutions of the educational, school and training system, the use of surgical masks (or of greater protective efficacy) remains, except for children up to six years of age. age and for subjects with pathologies or disabilities incompatible with the use of masks.
The mask, it is specified, will still be worn also on means of transport and on school means of transport, and must be of the ffp2 type at least until 30 April 2022. However, students will be exempted from the obligation to wear it during sports activities.
The rule on spacing does not change either: it is recommended to respect the safety distance of at least one meter, except in cases where the structural conditions of the buildings do not allow it.
Obviously, it will not be possible to enter school if you are positive for Covid or if symptoms occur and, until 30 April, outsiders will be able to access the school buildings only by showing the so-called ‘basic’ Green Pass (which therefore certifies the first cycle vaccination, healing or carrying out a negative swab). However, educational outings and educational trips are back, including participation in sporting events. Obligation of Ffp2 after the 4th case of positivity, stop differences between vaccinated and non-vaccinated students
The previous government intervention, executive since February 7, had given a massive push to the Dad for the class, automatic until then after passing a certain number of positives. This decree, permitting an increase in infections, will limit the Ddi to a minimum: for the unvaccinated and for those recovered / vaccinated with two doses but for more than 120 days, the obligation to stay at home will no longer be triggered if there are too many in the classroom. positive cases.
In fact, for all cycles, from the fourth positive onwards, the lessons go on in person, using the ffp2 mask for 10 days from the last confirmed contact, as long as the students are over 6 years old. Asymptomatic pupils continue to attend in presence. In case of symptoms, however, it is mandatory to carry out a test, even rapid or self-administered. If you are still symptomatic, the test must be repeated on the fifth day following the date of the last contact. In this case the negative result of the test is certified with self-certification.
In practice, the Dad takes only for those who test positive for Covid. For pupils of primary and secondary schools in isolation because they are infected, school activities continue in the mode of integrated digital teaching (Ddi) at the request of families or of the adult pupil, presenting the medical certification attesting to their health conditions. You return to class with the demonstration of having carried out a rapid or molecular antigen test with negative result. Until June, the vaccination obligation remains for those who work at school
The vaccination obligation for all school staff also remains in place, until June 15. Anyone who has not yet been vaccinated or who has not submitted the vaccination request must therefore produce, within 5 days, the documentation certifying “the vaccination has been carried out or the attestation relating to the omission or deferral of the same, or the presentation of the vaccination request to be carried out within a period not exceeding twenty days from receipt of the invitation, or in any case the non-existence of the conditions for the vaccination obligation “. Anyone who does not present this documentation, or does not get vaccinated, will not, however, be temporarily relieved of the post but will be used in support activities for the educational institution, without contact with the classes. It falls, therefore,The staff of the emergency remains, both among the Ata and teaching staff
. other consumables related to pandemic management.
With the same decree, the assignment for the staff recruited to deal with the emergency, both teachers and ATA – frequently referred to as “Covid staff” – was also extended until the end of lessons, or no later than June 15, 2022, unless for state kindergartens in which the deadline is extended until and no later than 30 June 2022.
