The recent entry into the endemic phase, purely at the containment level, predates the use of restrictive measures in proportion to the actual epidemic risk, provided that the virus is in an epidemiological state, precisely. The figures of appreciable curves in this hot spring confirm the opinion of experts, who have pointed out that now – despite the increase in infections – there would have been a real opportunity to say goodbye to Omicron and its associated II variant, albeit slowly, in particular. In particular for the restrictions currently imposed inside public buildings, schools and training institutions as well. Schools in Europe have had to deal with restrictive measures related to the use of masks outdoors and indoors during lessons and contact sport activities, and work to organize horizontal signs in common areas and classrooms and gradually more and more More quarantines have to be enforced. Normalized when faced with a pandemic situation at the time, which can be filtered by local authorities, can temporarily close the school. There are now a large number of countries in Europe that have said goodbye to masks in schools: the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Spain and Portugal, France and Germany.
Backward steps on restrictions in schools: First liberalization in sight
The continent’s most densely populated national realities, chronologically dictated by population exuberance and fixed and incorrectly proportionate rules, already in February said goodbye to the use of masks and, for some countries, more restrictive measures. In general, including the maintenance of mutual distances and the obligatory respect of horizontal signs in common areas. Ireland and the United Kingdom have since removed the provisions from the previous year, however, especially for the second, they have been reintroduced locally (Scotland and Wales), with repeats 2 or 3 times per week. unnatural trials have been forced; In short, the use of the mask was traded for the intensive use of nasal and saliva tests. France and Germany subsequently only removed the obligations (to anyone who wants to wear a mask) from January and February 2022, though giving specific instructions to Leander and the administrative regions. Some European countries have not introduced them at all or made them mandatory only in certain critical moments: we are talking about Sweden, Holland, Denmark and Poland.
WHO alarm: “Removal of provisions too fast”
The World Health Organization, overseen and the backbone of the United Nations, returns to warn of the realities that have already taken steps to release or rapidly reshape anti-infection restrictions, noting that a pandemic storms Infection can make them hospitalized. and deaths. As for the organization, some European states have too quickly abandoned regulations that could guarantee protection, control and surveillance. Some, in any case, seem to hear these proverbs, convinced that vaccination is the only and final vaporetto that can allow you to escape from a pandemic lagoon that is currently calm but will cause great harm in the near future. It is possible. Italy, along with some European realities, remains a cautious country as it slowly opens its doors to regulatory easing on issues of the pandemic: 130,000 deaths, thousands of hospitalized citizens and a shattered economy. A reality that seeks to recover safely and effectively.
