ROME: Millions of Italian children returned to the classroom on Monday as most schools reopened more than six months after they were closed to curb the coronavirus pandemic.

Although some Italian schools opened earlier this month, roughly 5.6 million students from a total of eight million went back to school on Monday, confronting a new reality of face masks, temperature checks and social distancing.

“It’s going alright. We started with a ceremony this morning to mark the start of a new beginning for us,” Diana Guerani, principal at Rome’s Luigi Einaudi technical high school, told AFP.

Her first group of students arrived for limited classes lasting for three hours only on Monday and she admitted the school was “very worried”, despite installing a temperature-checking camera and enforcing mask-wearing.

“The first day was OK. But it’s tough to talk while wearing a mask,” said 14-year-old Angelica Lisanti.

“After six months without school, I was happy to see my friends again,” Michela Horan, 13, told AFP outside the school near to Saint Peter’s Basilica.

“The whole thing however is really a bit scary.”

Italy was one of the first in Europe to be hit by the pandemic, which has now officially killed over 35,500 people out of a total of 280,000 cases.

Premier Giuseppe Conte admitted Sunday that Italian schools faced a difficult situation, including a lack of teachers, single-seat benches and surgical masks.

“There will be difficulties and inconveniences, especially in the beginning,” Conte wrote on Facebook.

He also saluted teachers, who he said had “made an extraordinary effort in the months of confinement to continue lessons and distant learning”.

“We are grateful to you,” he said.

With the country registering more than 1,500 infections a day, Conte also had particular words for youngsters.

“You have to do your part. You have to commit yourselves to the rules of caution that will allow you to protect your health and the health of the people you love,” he said.

Italian Education Minister Lucia Azzolina said more than 5,000 extra classrooms had been created to give pupils more space.

Some southern regions including Puglia and Calabria already postponed the reopening until September 24 over concerns they were not ready to meet all the new requirements.

Italian officials said the back-to-school strategy involved immediate quarantine of those “in close contact” with a student or teacher testing positive.

After a positive result, pupils will be allowed back to school only after returning two negatives, carried out a day apart.
