The schools reopen, the face-to-face teaching activity slowly resumes its course: the first days are of adaptation, both for the students and for the teachers and all the staff who work in the schools. It is essential to know and adopt the Regulations identified at the individual school level to contain the spread of the Covid19 infection.
We cannot underline the concern of kindergarten teachers who work in a segment where distancing is not anticipated.
“I am a kindergarten teacher, I was wondering why we are provided with a simple surgical mask (which protects the children but not the teachers) even though the children do not wear the mask and it is not possible to distance them due to age. ..“
Kindergarten: mask or mask plus visor?
Here’s what USR Veneto answers with specific FAQs
3) In kindergarten, children do not wear masks; Is it enough for teachers to wear a visor? Or do you need a mask + visor as some believe?
Answer) In the CTS Technical Document (attached to report no. 82 of 5/28/2020, page 19), it is stated that “nursery students should not wear a mask, as is already provided for children under 6 years of age. Therefore, since it is not always possible to guarantee the physical distancing of the pupil, it is possible that the personnel use additional devices (for example, nitrile gloves and protective devices for eyes, face and mucous membranes) in addition to the usual surgical mask “.
For teachers, therefore, the mask remains mandatory, while The optional option to also use a visor, which represents a valid protection for “eyes, face and mucous membranes”, will be endorsed by the Director., which will inform the faculty on the school’s COVID-19 Protocol. “
Therefore in this case we refer to an autonomous choice within the school. If deemed appropriate, it is necessary to send an interlocution on the matter with the Director.
Back to school, which mask should teachers use: effects on respiration of the type FFP2 or FFP3
