On the eve of the reopening of the school year, as Associated Pediatricians of District 10 ASL3, Val Polcevera and Valle Scrivia, we created a shared outpatient clinic, called Ambulatorio Protetto, which allowed us, on the one hand, to resume our assistance activities directed to the symptomatic child not strongly suspected for SARS-CoV-2, contributing, according to WHO indications, to the 3 T strategy (Testing Tracing Treating) even in disadvantaged and poorly connected areas, on the other hand, to ensure the prevention and management of chronic patients and non-infectious patients with the best possible safety measures. The realization was made possible with self-financing and as a form of volunteering of the participating pediatricians. The Health District contributed with the supply of PPE and molecular swabs.
