All of France is now concerned. “All departments move to level 2 of the health protocol” Monday, with “new masks for all students” elementary school, the Ministry of National Education announced on November 9, after Emmanuel Macron’s televised address.
This generalization of the wearing of a mask marks a step backwards in the fight against the epidemic. The government announced in September the end of wearing masks in primary school in the departments least affected by the epidemic. At the beginning of October, 47 departments had been able to remove it, followed by others in the following weeks. In total, the wearing of masks at school had been lifted before the All Saints holidays in 79 departments, before coming back in force with the resumption of the Covid-19 epidemic.
