Yet something is moving. The masks Ffp2 for teachers of nursery schools, kindergartens and for those of other orders and grades of schools where there are pupils in the classroom exempted from wearing them they arrived in the first 2,410 institutes. We are talking about 800 thousand protective devices that the emergency commissioner structure has begun to distribute, following the monitoring of the Ministry of Education, carried out to identify the needs of the individual complexes. Moreover, since yesterday and for all this and next week, the general Francesco Figliuolo will – as confirmed by the Ministry of Education to the Fattoquotidiano.it – to have 9,500,000 Ffp2 to teachers and professors of other 17,741 schools. In total by the end of the month, the half of the institutes (in all there are 40,658), will have the long-awaited masks.
No good news, however, for all the other students and teachers who have to wear them. The operational note, dated January 8th, jointly signed by the director general of prevention of the Ministry of Health Giovanni Rezza and by the department head of viale Trastevere, Jacopo Greco, provides that in the secondary, in the case of two positive, there is (for vaccinated or recovered pupils) “the obligation to wear protective devices for the respiratory tract of type Ffp2 for at least ten days”. Norma, the latter, which applies to the whole class (which remains in the presence) in the event of a positive. These devices have to be bought by families or individual schools buy them. So far, in most cases, the boys have brought them from home. Minister Bianchi undertook to put the question on the table of the Council of Ministers but there are no certainties about the success of the Ferrara professor’s mission. In the meantime, Figliuolo, on 11 January, proceeded to publish the request for preventive for the assignment with telematic procedure of the supply of sixty million masks, referring in the determination precisely to the distribution of “Ffp2 type masks to educational, school and university institutions”.
It is the same general in the act to specify that “the current ones stocks they do not allow to meet the current demand for personal protective equipment “. The first (of five) tranche of 12 million masks should be delivered at the end of January and then completed by February 28th. This dowry should serve to complete the distribution in half of the institutions that must receive them for nursery schools, infants and teachers of other grades. Impossible to know more from the commissioner: consulted by Fattoquotidiano.it did not answer. To complain, on the other hand, about Figliuolo’s work are also the regional school offices who are not aware of how many Ffp2 are given in the schools of their competence. Daniela Beltrame, at the head of the peripheral offices of the ministry explains: “The commissioner structure does not inform us of anything. Yet knowing how many masks are given would serve us to organize ourselves and perhaps foresee an autonomous purchase while waiting for those promises to arrive “. Meanwhile, in these hours, the ministry is completing the collection of data from the weekly monitoring of absences of teachers and students, classes in dad or in ddi. The numbers that will allow us to understand how the first week of school recovery went with the new regulations approved by the government should be published on Tuesday.
