Children who go to school in Italy are once again quarantined at home

At about 8 o'clock last night, I suddenly saw a screenshot of the parent group that read, "Starting tomorrow, all AAA students will be quarantined at home."

Oh my goodness.~

This is the second time this semester that we have quarantined. Once before Christmas, just after the holidays, it came again.

That's it, today's first day of online classes at home and self-isolation.

I thought this quarantine was no different from the last time, but sure enough, I was too naïve.

Because parents don't want their children to take online classes at home, they ask the school if they have done a nucleic acid test, and then they can immediately (the next day) go back to the classroom to go to class. Got a positive answer, but the class was required to test at the same time and place.

I thought everyone would do the test and then go back to school. Sure enough, I was naïve again.

Because the state's quarantine policy for primary schools is like this: one case of positive class, the whole class online class. If all the students go to nucleic acid and are negative, then all students can return to school.

Conversely, if there is 1 or more positives, the class must be quarantined at home for 10 days.

At this point, a class of 20 people split into two camps, one team doing a self-funded quick test at the drugstore (8 euros) and the other team choosing to let the children continue to isolate at home. The reason is simple, because less than 24 hours after exposure to a positive case, the nucleic acid results obtained are not accurate. In fact, I agree with it in my heart, but life still has to go on, and it is indeed impossible not to go back to work. So I joined the nucleic acid camp.

Fortunately, the children who went today were all negative, and then the school issued a notice saying that these children could go back to school; the rest were online classes at home.

Forgot to say, my family has two children, the eldest is isolated at home, but the small one is not affected and can continue to attend classes. They are in the same school.
