Schools in Italy likely to close beyond April 3, says Education minister
Friday, 20th March 2020
Schools in Italy are likely to stay closed beyond April 3, Italy’s Education Minister said on Thursday because the government attempts to further limit contact among citizens to curb the coronavirus outbreak.
“As Prime Minister (Giuseppe) Conte said, I believe we are going towards an extension of the April 3 deadline,” Lucia Azzolina told SkyTG24. Schools and universities were closed on March 5.
Azzolina said schools would re-open only if there would be “certainty of absolute safety”, adding that the tip of the college year would depend upon how well online lessons would come in coming weeks.
