After the words of Minister Azzolina, also comes the specific note from the Ministry of Education: the new government provisions on the use of the mandatory mask outdoors they do not affect the rules laid down for the school.
The MI confirms: if there is a buccal meter, it can be removed in class
It follows that the instructions provided by the “Security protocol 0-6“, from “Memorandum of understanding to ensure the start of the school year“, As well as the decree of the Minister of Education June 26, 2020, n. 39 bearing “Adoption of the Document for the planning of school, educational and training activities in all Institutions of the National Education System for the school year 2020/2021“, To be read in the light of the minutes of the CTS no. 104 of 31 August 2020, the note reports.
This means that:
- In primary school, to facilitate learning and relational development, the mask can be removed in static conditions (ie children sitting at the desk) with respect for the distance of at least one meter (nd, so-called “buccal rhyme “, Or a distance of one meter between mouth and mouth) and the absence of situations that provide for the possibility of aerosolization (eg singing)”.
- In secondary school, even considering a transmissibility similar to that of adults, the mask can be removed in static conditions with respect for the distance of at least one meter (nd buccal rhymes, ut supra), the absence of situations that provide for the possibility of
aerosolization (eg singing) and in epidemiological situation of low viral circulation as defined by the health authority.
Clarity on the mask at school
The clarification of the Ministry is undoubtedly to be greeted positively because from the first details of the new law decree, already published in the Official Gazette, the doubt about the use of the mask at school had crept among the parents but also among teachers and school managers.
