August 18, 2020 "The list of countries with a tampon obligation upon returning from holidays will be updated": the Deputy Minister of Health Pierpaolo Sileri told SkyTg24. "I would put container-laboratories inside the airports, I would swab all those who come from countries with growing contagion: a swab, 5 days of quarantine, another swab because it may be that he caught the virus shortly before departure and the first tampon does not show it ".

Let's expect controlled increase in infections
"Let's also expect an increase in controlled infections, with identified outbreaks and swabs that will have to grow, because in some areas there is still a variability in the number of swabs performed," said the deputy minister, reflecting on the progress of the coronavirus epidemic. Sileri then added that "the dry number of positives per day" should not be worried, possibly increasing, "because if you have outbreaks in which everyone is controlled, they are not infections that should be scary". 

If it is found positive, the school closes temporarily.
If "a positive is found at school, all the people around will be checked, temporarily closed, and once the positives have been identified, the school can start again", continued Pierpaolo Sileri, by answering a question relating to the precautions to be taken in the event that a case of coronavirus positivity is found in a school or among students or among teachers and other school operators. 

Ok relief of principals' responsibility, as doctors
Regarding the "criminal responsibility of principals" in the case of coronavirus infection at school, when we return to the classroom in September "something must be done, no more and no less than what has been done with the responsibility of the health personnel who fight Covid in the ward "said Sileri. "I hope - he added - that this will be discussed in September or October. In my opinion we need a relief of responsibility for the school staff: we are facing a unique situation, there can be no responsibility for the individual".
