April 23, 2020 "The decision to keep the frontal teaching interruption is dictated by the fact that a reopening of schools with the restoration of production activities would have caused going beyond the contagiousness index". This was stated by Franco Locatelli, president of the Superior Health Council and member of the technical-scientific Committee, during a press conference at the Civil Protection. 

"We made the assessment of avoiding aggregations, maintaining physical distancing. In the developed models, a reopening of schools in conjunction with the restoration of work activities would certainly have meant going further, and not a little, the value of 1 for the contagiousness index. We handed this assessment over to the government responsible for the decisions, "added Locatelli.
