Coronavirus, the scientific committee: ineffective to close the schools for prevention

The technical-scientific committee appointed by the civil Protection, with experts of the ministry of Health, Istituto superiore di sanità and the Consiglio superiore di sanità, the idea of closure of schools is not liked. Health experts, interviewed today by the government about, precisely, at the stop of ten days of lessons from kindergarten to university, in fact, have pointed out that there is a limited scientific evidence on the effectiveness of a measure.

at present there are No data that point towards a capacity of the closure to reduce the circulation of the virus. Only some of the predictive models indicate that a moderate effectiveness but among other things, it was noted in the terse opinion of the committee, you would get only with a closing much more prolonged, and even two months. It was not a failure, because the opinion expressed formally is non-negative (and even positive), but it is as if the experts, unanimously, they said to the government: you do, but know that according to us is not effective to act in this way.
