(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 16 - Campania Governor Vincenzo De Luca
has come under fire from several quarters after ordering that
the region's schools be closed until October 30 after a sharp
rise in COVID-19 cases.
Premier Giuseppe Conte said that this was "not the best
solution" while Education Minister Lucia Azzolina said De Luca's
decision was "extremely serious".
Parents, meanwhile, staged a demonstration outside the offices
of the regional government in Naples, saying that "today is the
darkest day for schools".
School-bus drivers staged a separate demonstration calling for
economic support after the decision halted their activities.
