Covid, De Luca in Campania arronza the government, Cts and Iss by closing schools

Schools, parties, weddings and catering: the measures introduced by Vincenzo De Luca, president of the Campania Region. Tensions with the government. Cts and Iss indirectly criticize De Luca

Schools closed until October 30 and stop at parties and weddings. The president of the Campania Region, Vincenzo De Luca, tightens his belt to try to slow down the Coronavirus race.

All the details on the new rules, limited to Campania, introduced by the newly re-elected president.

THE NUMBERS

Let's start with the numbers of infections. Between 14 and 15 October, 1,127 new positives were recorded out of 13,780 swabs carried out. In the first 15 days of October there are 9,031 positive swabs.

NEW RIGOROUS MEASURES

Numbers that worry De Luca: "In relation to the existing epidemiological situation, strict measures have been adopted with the dual objective of limiting the circumstances of dangerous gatherings in every area, private and public, and with the aim of minimizing mobility difficult to control ”, reads a note from the Region.

SCHOOLS CLOSED UNTIL OCTOBER 30th

The measures affect, first of all, schools. The suspension of face-to-face teaching activities for primary and secondary schools is expected from 16 to 30 October. Stop to face-to-face lessons also for universities, except for first year students.

BECAUSE DE LUCA CLOSES SCHOOLS

The closure of schools is due to the "very high level of contagion also recorded in families and deriving from contacts in the school world".

THE REACTION OF THE AZZOLINA

The reaction of the Minister of Education, Lucia Azzolina (M5S) , who judges De Luca's decision to be "very serious and deeply wrong". The minister spoke of “De Luca's inappropriate fury against schools: he was the last to reopen them and the first to close them. School at this time is instead the safest place for our children, not only for the health aspect but also for other reasons. Campania should keep them open ".

For Azzolina it is "unacceptable to leave students at home in the face of low numbers of infections": "Then in the face of priority, schools should be the last thing to close".

STOP TO PARTIES

De Luca also stops private parties. The ordinance prohibits "parties, even those resulting from civil or religious ceremonies, in public places, open to public and private, indoors or outdoors, with guests from outside the cohabiting family".

The activities of playful and recreational clubs are also suspended.

THE NEWS FOR RESTAURANTS

New measures also for the catering sector. All shops are required to prohibit the sale with take-out from 9 pm, while delivery without time limits remains permitted.

THE WORDS OF THE CTS

“At school, we are convinced, the children are safe and to ease the pressure on public transport we must not remove students from class and send them to lessons from home, but increase the transport service. It's possible. We have been saying this since April, there is a trace in the minutes. We have thousands of vehicles stopped due to the collapse of tourism and we do not reuse them for urban and regional travel. Why? ”, Says the coordinator of the CTS, Agostino Mioxzo:“ The technicians of the Scientific Committee have prepared tables on the flows precise to the second: the workers entering the factory, the students entering the factory, then the public administration. I wonder why no mobility manager of big cities has taken these tables in hand to build a compatible timetable for everyone, without intersections, without crowds. The exits of the subways with commuters side by side are matters of wrong half hours, not more. Only half an hour of gathering is enough for the virus to run. "
