According to a letter from the Autonomous Secretary of Education received today, as of April 25, 2022, the use of the mask is governed by the following points:
- The use of masks is no longer mandatory in general in all spaces of the educational center for both students and teachers and non-teaching staff of the centers.
- All people over 6 years of age, not included in the exception cases, must wear masks on school transport.
- Both people positive for COVID-19 and their close contacts, in the 10 days following the onset of symptoms or diagnosis in asymptomatic cases, must wear a surgical mask (UNE-EN 14386).
- The use of a mask is necessary as a protection measure in workers with a greater vulnerability to COVID-19 infection (over 60 years of age, intrinsic or extrinsic immunocompromised and pregnant), in those situations in which there is prolonged contact with people at a distance of less than 1.5 m.
- The use of a mask is recommended in those spaces where the safety distance of 1.5 meters cannot be maintained and ventilation is not guaranteed.
- Since maintaining the use of the mask is a personal decision, the center will ensure respect for diversity.
