For the oral examinations, the graduates will wear the mask as required by the regulations but at the time of the interview they will be made to remove. “For the writings it is a question of respect to wear a surgical mask even with respect to those who have frailty – Cristina Costarelli, president of Anp Lazio explains to ANSA -, for the oral ones it is a false problem: the candidate will be two meters away from the commission. We do not have a new anticovid protocol on exams; the previous ones are now outdated even by the end of the state of emergency. The candidate is therefore authorized while speaking not to wear a mask. We await written indications “.

“We begin to think that the issue of masks receives too much attention: at the most it is a question of taking it two days to the writings. If the school buildings were liveable, equipped with air conditioning like all public offices, this problem would not exist. It is terrible that the school did not have this attention, given that the heat now suffers from May to September. And therefore always talking about a mask at school seems to be a subject of mass distraction compared to the real themes, ventilation and conditioning. of the air “, Costarelli continues. “In the past, the candidate was authorized to remove the mask, the anticovid protocols of the past years are no longer valid, to date we have no protocol or obligation to keep the 2 meters distance that we will certainly keep: but the candidate is authorized to do not wear a mask while he will speak “, concludes the head teacher.

“It may be an option to consider the hypothesis of having the graduates keep the mask only for the writings and not for the oral ones: it would follow a little what happens in Parliament: deputies, senators and members of the Government wear it when they are seated at their place and lower it when called to intervene “. This was told to ANSA by the Undersecretary for Education Rossano Sasso della Lega. “But I wonder – he adds – what scientific bases there are in support. It seems to me more a political compromise. Eminent virologists have repeatedly remarked that classrooms are not places of contagion: the greatest risks for children are before and after school,” so if in the pizzeria they can stay without it is not clear why they have to keep it in the classroom. Personally I would be to wear it only when turning in the corridors and in case of gatherings, but at the Ministry of Health they obviously have a foreclosure against the world of education: they removed the restrictions everywhere except at school. It seems clear to me that there is an ideological prejudice “, concludes Sasso.

“The evaluation is underway”, Health Minister Roberto Speranza replies to the question if after June 15th the masks will have to continue to be used on means of transport.
