The education ministry and trade
unions on Thursday signed a protocol setting out the measures
and rules schools should apply to be able to reopen in safety in
September.
Italy's schools closed in the early stages of the coronavirus
emergency in March and did not open before the end of the
2019-2020 school year.
The protocol sets out how schools should let pupils in and let
them out to prevent crowds forming, and gives indications on how
to sanitize classrooms and other areas.
It also stipulates that a help desk will be set up to assist
schools on applying the rules
All visitors to schools must be registered and all school staff
will undergo coronavirus serological tests at the start of the
school year.
In the document, the government also commits itself to ending
class overcrowding, with legislation to set a maximum number of
pupils per class.
