August 31, 2020 No mask at school if the distance of one meter is respected.

In primary school, "to facilitate learning and relational development, the mask can be removed in a static condition with respect for the distance of at least one meter and the absence of situations that provide for the possibility of aerosolization (for example singing ).



The Technical Scientific Committee indicates this in a note. "In secondary school, even considering a transmissibility similar to that of adults, the mask can be removed in a static condition with respect for the distance of at least one meter, the absence situations involving the possibility of aerosolization (eg singing) and in an epidemiological situation of low viral circulation as defined by the health authority ".



 "The use of masks is only one of the prevention measures that must be implemented in the school environment in a correct association with all the other measures already recommended in order to limit the circulation of the virus (eg environmental and personal hygiene, exchange of air, ordinary sanitization ...). The epidemiological data, the scientific knowledge and the organizational implications found, may determine a modification of the recommendations proposed, also in relation to the different local epidemiological trends, by the health authority which may foresee the obligation of the mask even in static situations with respect for the spacing for a given period, within a strategy of scalability of prevention and control measures balanced with the needs of continuity and effectiveness of training courses ".

This is also what is stated in the note of the Technical-Scientific Committee.
