Reggio Calabria, the “new normal” of the school: 2 other classes in quarantine in the city, but for the vast majority of pupils the lessons continue without any kind of repercussions
Two other classes in quarantine in Reggio Calabria, after those of Liceo Da Vinci, Piria and De Amicis: this time it is the 2ªF and of 2ªC of the lower secondary school (the former middle school) of National boarding school “Tommaso Campanella”. A 12 year old girl from the 2ªF it was positive, while in 2ªC there is no case but the quarantine was triggered as a precaution due to the positivity that emerged from a teacher who in recent days had given a lesson in that class. The teacher is completely asymptomatic: she had undergone the test only for prevention, together with her colleagues, who did the serological and swabs in compliance with the anti-Covid regulations.
Both classes will remain in quarantine until October 17: it should be noted that it is 52 students (28 in 2ª F and 24 in 2ª C) on the 1,200 students of the boarding school: the other 1,150 will continue to attend classes regularly starting tomorrow morning. This is the new normality with which schools throughout Italy are measuring themselves in the times of the pandemic.
The boarding school, in fact, has very rigidly adopted the anti-contagion measures from Coronavirus, with a strict protocol to which everyone, teachers, teachers and staff, are adhering by using masks, keeping distance and increasing personal hygiene. Precisely the automatic precautionary quarantine to the first case of Covid for the class, testifies that the protocol works very well and will allow to avoid the spread of the contagion, circumscribing it as much as possible without stopping the normality of everyday life as happened with dramatic repercussions last March with the closure of schools and the lockdown.
