(ANSA) – ROME, 02 JAN – In English secondary schools, the obligation to wear a mask is triggered, to reduce the spread of the Omicron variant. This was announced by the British government, after the concerns raised by the institutes, which will remain open despite the resurgence of the pandemic.
Next week all schools in the UK will reopen after the Christmas break and so far England was the only country where there was no mask requirement for students. Teachers, on the other hand, will be able to continue not to use them. The provision will remain in force at least until January 26th.
Unions, meanwhile, have called for urgent action to limit the spread of the virus, warning that national examinations are at risk. And the government has announced that it will make 7,000 air purification units available to schools and universities. (HANDLE).
