Dear Parents, We are following the recent news relating to the health emergency due to the occurrence of Coronavirus (Covid-19) cases in Lombardy. An order has been issued by the Lombardy Region and an Emergency decree by the Council of Ministers, which provides for the safety of the areas in which cases of Coronavirushave occurred, and which has established the suspension of sports competitions and public gatherings. Restrictive measures are envisaged for the movement of residents, with the suspension of work activities, even outside the security area. These measures do not directly concern Mile as there are no colleagues who live in the municipalities of the ordinance. However, news reports also inform us of the spread of some cases in the city of Milan. For these reasons, and in consideration of the fact that in recent days we have had cases of flu-like illness, presumably of a seasonal nature,the MILE Board of Directors has assessed that it is preferable to adopt the precautionary measure of suspension of the service and the closure of the school in all orders and grades for the whole of next week, to protect the health of the entire community as a preventive and precautionary measure, while waiting for the authorities to investigate the impact of the phenomenon and establish any further directives.
We ask families to monitor their children's health before returning to school and to avoid bringing children who are not completely healthy to school. This seems to us the best way to protect the health of our children and teachers.
