Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education Notification of removal of mask when heat stroke is at high risk 15:40 on June 5
To prevent infection with the new coronavirus, it is considered desirable to wear a mask at school at all times, but the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education notifies the board of education of the ward, municipality, etc. that the risk of heat stroke is high. If it's too expensive, we're calling to remove the mask.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government announced guidelines for preventing new coronavirus infection at the school at the end of last month prior to the reopening of the school on the 1st of this month, and at the same time notified the prevention of heat stroke accidents.
Therefore, it is basically appropriate for children/students and teachers to always wear a mask to prevent the spread of infection.
On the other hand, Kotoshi calls for careful attention to heat stroke, as it is expected that the body will be in a hot season when they are not accustomed to the heat.
In addition, if there is a high possibility of heat stroke, consider taking measures such as ventilation and keeping a sufficient distance before taking off the masks of children, and wear masks for physical education classes and athletic club activities. We are calling for things that are not necessary.
