The debate on measurement of pupils’ temperature: it is best to do it at home or at school? The virologist Andrea Crisanti, rather focuses on the minimum threshold: non 37,5 ° as indicated by the Scientific Technical Committee, but 37 ° it should be the barrier temperature to stay at home.
The virologist, professor of microbiology at the University of Padua, guest of the show “The air that pulls“Your La7 says:”Never before do we need cohesion as in this moment. We must all make an effort to make this school reopening a success“.
This is why according to Crisanti “At the cost of keeping more people at home, with a fever over 37 you shouldn’t go to school“. Reiterating that the temperature must be measured in front of school with a single thermometer: “It is the safest method“.

It takes two weeks to understand how the reopening of schools is proceeding
The expert admitting that the back to school he was positive in the first week, he says that you still have to wait two weeks to understand how things are going.
On the rapid swab, a hypothesis also feared for the school, Crisanti says: “If used at school and repeated after two to three days it makes sense. Otherwise it doesn’t make much sense“.
And Burioni measures the fever every morning to the children
Speaking of temperature measurement, another scientist, Roberto Burioni, virologist of the San Raffaele University of Milan, told on Twitter: “I’m not a mother, but every morning before going out, with the ear thermometer, I measure my daughter’s temperature before sending her to school. The hand is not enough, the lips are not enough, much less the look. It takes the thermometer. Health is not a joke“.
Arm wrestling Piedmont-Ministry
In the meantime, the Ministry-Piedmont Region clash takes hold: as we wrote earlier, the first round went to Governor Cirio, who a few days before the reopening of schools signed an ordinance that provides for the measurement of the temperature by schools, in fact a solution contrary to what was established by the Technical Scientific Committee and adopted by the Ministry of ‘Instruction.
According to the Piedmont Tar, which rejected the request for suspension of the Ministry, the regional provision integrates and does not subvert the content of the state regulations as the Prime Minister’s Decree does not provide for any form of control of the effective fulfillment, by families, of the obligation to measure the body temperature, does not require the verification of the temperature measurement before entering the school, but before the beginning of the teaching activity and this to leave school managers the most appropriate organizational choice in order to avoid potential gatherings.
