Gifu Prefectural Board of Education Notice that you can take off your mask when going to or from school with high temperature or humidity June 5 17:02

The Gifu Prefectural Board of Education says that masks that are required to be worn to prevent infection with the new coronavirus in order to prevent children from getting heat stroke "can be removed when going to and from school on days with high temperature and humidity." I have notified you.

Public elementary and junior high schools and high schools in Gifu Prefecture reopened their schools on the 1st of this month, but the Prefectural Board of Education issued a guideline last month that "in principle, wear masks when attending school or attending school."

However, because the child stayed at home for a short time on a temporary basis, he said, "I have to go to school and go to school before I get used to the heat, and I have to be careful about heat stroke more than usual." You can remove your mask when going to or from school on a humid day."

In response to this, the contents of the notice were given to the children on May 5 at Meigo Elementary School in Gifu City.

The faculty members told me not to talk face-to-face with my friends when I took off my mask while going to and from school, leaving a distance of about 2 meters with my friends.

Some of the children who came home after the lesson were able to take off their masks and walk in the strong sunlight.

A 6th grade girl child said, "I'm happy to remove it because it gets hot and humid. Be careful not to get too close to your friends."

Takaaki Umeda, Principal of Meisho Elementary School, said, "I will teach children to keep a good distance."
