Toyama City Elementary and junior high school students are not asked to wear a mask when going to or from school.
As for the masks worn by children as a measure against new coronavirus infection, the Toyama City Board of Education decided that the mask should not be worn when going to or from school, as the temperature rises and the risk of heat stroke increases. I notified the elementary and junior high school in.
It's been a month since many schools in Toyama reopened, but children are being asked to refrain from wearing masks and talking.
In addition, as the life of the new coronavirus changes, some medical institutions in Toyama City have children who seek medical attention due to symptoms of headache and nausea, and the City Board of Education cooperates with pediatricians in the city. Then, we started a meeting to consider how to reduce the restrictions on school life.
At the meeting, in consideration of the increase in temperature and the risk of heat stroke and the burden of carrying heavy luggage such as school bags, we decided not to wear a mask when going to and from school, and we decided to attend elementary and junior high schools in the city on the 24th. I have notified you.
In addition to preventing heat stroke, it is difficult to get close to 3 people outdoors, and no new infected person has been confirmed in the prefecture for more than 1 month.
Each school will instruct them to stay at least 1 meter away from their friends when removing their masks and to refrain from face-to-face conversations.
The City Board of Education will compile this policy in a Q&A and distribute it to parents, as well as to inform local people watching over the school.
