feasible.
Maintain social distancing in classroom
AVOID
 Children and adolescents 12 years or older should follow
the national mask guidelines for adults.

Types of mask:
Fabric masks are recommended to prevent onward
transmission in the general population in public areas,
particularly where distancing is not possible, and in areas of
community transmission. This could include the school
grounds in some situations. Masks may help to protect
others, because wearers may be infected before symptoms
of illness appear.
The use of masks by children and adolescents in schools
should only be considered as one part of a strategy to limit
the spread of COVID-19.
