For students in zone B, it’s the end of the winter school holidays. It’s back, Monday, February 21, on the school benches, with some rather encouraging news: finished wearing the mask during recess. The health protocol is lightened, and this is not the only change.

They had a slightly lighter day. No mask in the playground for these students from Nice (Alpes-Maritimes)then at the exit, it is the cry of the heart. Same happiness in the schools of Hauts-de-France for young and old, to be able to look at each other, from the forehead to the chin. “When I took off my mask, they stared at me (…) because it’s true that I never take off my mask in front of children”says Stephanie Damiansdirector of the Saint-Jacques school.

Gone is the mask also for the sport practiced indoors. It remains obligatory in class, as well as repeated hand washing and barrier gestures. But the protocol becomes lighter when the teacher is absent. Pupils may again be divided into other classes of the same level. Also finished are the three self-tests in the event of a positive child in class. As of February 28, only one will be requested from D+2 without parental attestation.
