REPORT

Holidays are over for zone B!

It was back to school this morning with something new at school: no more masks during recess.

In front of the Frédéric-Mistral school group, in Mandelieu-la-Napoule, parents and children were relieved by this reduction in the health protocol, put in place to fight against Covid-19 at school.

For the parents, this back-to-school day marked a slow return to a normal life.

Exit the confusion of the beginning of the year.

“It will allow you to breathe a little bit because there, it is true that it was a bit restrictive”, confirms a mother.

Being able to breathe without a mask

But the habits acquired in recent months die hard.

"This morning, for example, we weren't aware of it and so we came with our masks as usual. And it was the teachers who told us that we could finally breathe, so yes, that's good,” she continues.

"For the children, it's great. They will be able to breathe better without a mask", continues Edwige.

"You don't always have to put on the mask. From time to time, you have to take it off. In the yard for example", adds his son Timéo, who is enjoying his regained freedom. 

And after a self-test, no more sworn statements.

And that relieves the parents.

“It simplifies life a lot. With two children who had Covid, it was indeed a bit complicated to juggle”, assures a mother.

A lighter protocol for the first level, but not for colleges and high schools.

They remain at level 2 protocol.
