Ilmenau (dpa / th) - Before the meeting of the Prime Minister with Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday, the Thuringian State Parents' Representation (LEV) reiterated its demand to continue to refrain from a general mask requirement in class.

Where the infection process required it, compliance with the distance rules in class and the associated switch to split classes should be preferred to the mask requirement in class, the LEV announced on Tuesday evening.

On the other hand, where the minimum distances cannot be maintained, the LEV does not consider wearing the everyday mask to be critical.
