With regards to the announcement made by President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih, the Ministry of Education has made an announcement of its own.
It says that in islands where there is less than a 20% sample positive rate, the students are now allowed to attend school without a mask. But if their guardians or the students themselves want to wear a mask, they are also allowed to do so.
In addition to this, students who are deemed high risk are asked to wear the mask when attending classes.
Even if masks are not mandatory anymore, for the safety of everyone in school, temperature checks and practicing good hygiene via handwashing frequently is recommended.
