Education Minister Lucia Azzolina
has said the government does not yet know when it will be
possible to reopen Italy's schools, adding that pupils may have
to observe social distancing when they do go back due to the
coronavirus emergency.
"We have not given ourselves a date," Azzolina told RAI
television.
"They'll go back to school when we are certain that our
children, the children of the Italian people, are safe".
When asked if schools may be required to apply social
distancing if the emergency is still ongoing in the autumn,
Azzolina replied: "that is one of the scenarios we are thinking
about".
