    The end of the outdoor mask

    According to The Parisian, the hypotheses for the evolution of the health protocol will concern, among other things, ventilation and the wearing of a mask. This would no longer be compulsory outdoors in recess for elementary school children. “We are currently at level 3 for primary schools and level 2 for secondary education. We are going to have several meetings this week with the hope of moving to level 2 in primary education”said Jean-Michel Blanquer on the set of CNews February 6.

    Reduce the number of self-tests

    Will also be discussed the regulation of the three tests for a student who is a contact case. Until now, you had to do self-tests and present a negative result on D+0, D+2 and D+4. “We can imagine going from three to two but for the moment it is not a certainty” explained the Minister of Education. Finally, indoor sport could be allowed again.

    The aim would be to lift restrictions on returning from the February holidays from Zone B as early as February 21. The schools of Aix-Marseille, Amiens, Caen, Lille, Nancy-Metz, Nantes, Nice, Orléans-Tours, Reims, Rennes, Rouen and Strasbourg would first be concerned.
