Italy coronavirus

LAST week Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and Education Minister Lucia Azzolina announced that the government had allocated €1 billion in funds for safety measures to allow the reopening of schools across the country this autumn.

Azzolina further explained that the Ministry of Education was working on a logistical plan for the extraordinary conditions of the opening of schools on September 14.

Some of the new guidelines that would be put into place would include seating pupils one metre apart, classes being divided into smaller learning groups, and introducing staggered arrival times for students.
