According to the newspaper La Repubblica, in order to activate distance learning, it will not be enough to have one Covid-19 case in each class, but the minimum number of three cases remains in force.

Finally, it is confirmed that from December 15, the mandatory vaccination of teaching staff and administrators working in schools, members of the police and military forces and the administrative staff of hospitals will begin. Health workers in Italy are already required to be vaccinated against coronavirus.
