China News Service, October 14th. According to the Canadian "Sing Tao Daily" report, British Columbia, Canada, has extended the mandatory mask order for indoor public places to children aged 5 and above, prompting Chinese parents to applaud.

Some parents said that even if this order is not announced, their children will insist on wearing masks in public places, and this is not difficult.

However, some parents expressed concern about the implementation of the new policy.

　　The son of Ms. Zhang, a Richmond citizen, is 5 years old this year. She said that as early as the beginning of the epidemic, she had insisted on requiring her children to wear masks in public places and schools. Now her son has developed a habit, every time she goes out in public places, The son will always ask her for a mask before getting off the car, and then get out of the car after wearing it.

She believes that it is not difficult for most Chinese families to wear masks for children, and that every time she and her eldest daughter get off the car, they will wear masks first, which will also give her son a role model and make him "have a good way." Learn like this" and develop good epidemic prevention habits.

　　Ms. Zhang said that British Columbia should have implemented stricter mandatory mask orders, because masks can play a very good protective role.

She also believes that everyone should be required to wear masks even in outdoor public places, because sometimes it is difficult to maintain a safe social distance between people even outdoors, and it will be safer to wear a mask.

　　Another Chinese citizen, Mrs. Hu, also expressed support for the government's new order for children over 5 to wear masks.

Her son is 8 years old and has been wearing a mask since the epidemic.

"Even in martial arts class, I always wear a mask." Mrs. Hu said.

But she has just signed up for a basketball training class for her son. At present, she does not know whether this kind of group class with a large amount of exercise will strictly require children to wear masks.

　　She said: "I will definitely insist that my son wear a mask, but I don't know if other children will wear it. If other children don't wear it, I wonder if the teacher will remind them to wear it. This new policy is very good. , But the strength of the implementation is unknown."

　　Mrs. Hu said that although the government requires adults to wear masks indoors, she actually saw in some large supermarkets that some people still wear masks when they enter the door, but they pull the mask to the chin after entering, and the supermarket does not have it. Enough manpower to track and manage everyone shopping in the store.

Therefore, she believes that a policy is not enough, the important thing is that it can be implemented in place.
