COVID, POSSIBLE SCHOOL CLOSED SINCE MARCH FOR CHILDREN 5-11 YEARS OLD
Desperate times call for desperate measures. The goal is to “save Christmas“and prevent the pandemic from restarting in January with the fourth wave, affecting above all the fragile economic recovery underway. In addition to the introduction of premises red areas, where the number of infections is higher, the hypothesis being examined by the Ministry of Health, in agreement with the CTS and the Prime Minister, would be that of a lockdown rock hard in style Austria for the unvaccinated from mid-December until 10 January. The next few weeks will be decisive and the final decision will be taken only at the end of November based on the trend of infections, victims and hospitalizations, in particular in intensive care.
But, if the trend were confirmed with an increase in cases, the government could effectively shut down those who have decided not to get vaccinated at home. The lockdown it would be total: no chance to swab, as happens today, to get the temporary Green Pass. Therefore closed cinemas, theaters, sports activities such as gyms but also outdoors such as ski slopes, restaurants, bars, pizzerias. In essence, the unvaccinated could leave the house only to do the shopping and to go to the pharmacy or for other essential needs such as refueling their car.
It is still to be seen whether it will also be forbidden to go to work or whether the possibility of the tampon for the release of the Green Pass which lasts 48 hours. But apart from the office or the factory, a total restriction measure is being studied for the unvaccinated who, in fact, could be confined to the house for almost a month during the holiday season. From February, then, after a long period to be able to organize, another could be triggered lockdown, perhaps slightly less hard, for those who have not yet taken the third dose, which is now certain that it will be extended to everyone and not just to the over 60s.
And finally the children. As the virologist Fabrizio Pregliasco ad Affaritaliani.it, starting from March (but the date is still indicative), schools could remain closed for Children from 5 to 11 years not vaccinated. Vaccination for this age group should start in early December, after the green light of the EMA. The data worry experts as they highlight that about a quarter of new infections occur precisely in the pediatric age, with schools as a place for the spread of the virus.
