No, do not throw them in the trash right away.
You still need it in covered places, to go to the cinema, in certain shops, in sports halls or places of worship.
But it's still good news: the prefecture of Oise announced this Sunday that wearing a mask outdoors will no longer be compulsory from Monday.
The prefect is thus following in the footsteps of her counterparts in the Somme, Aisne or Pas-de-Calais, who recently lifted this regulation.
The places where you will now be able to breathe more freely are defined by the authorities as follows: "Markets and the like, gatherings of more than ten people on the public highway or a place open to the public, near shopping centers and schools, queues of people. 'waiting'… Good news for many residents.
In schools, the end of the obligation dates back to October 11
"I'm not against the mask, of course, but it's still a relief," says Étienne, a Compiégnois.
Especially for school, I forgot every other time and I had to turn the children around, or even let them go alone while watching from a distance… ”
This reduction also comes after the end of the obligation to wear a mask for students, since October 11.
For lack of satisfactory indicators concerning the epidemic, schoolchildren in the Oise had, however, had to wait a week longer than those in other Picardy departments.
"It's still better to play with friends," comments Gabin, a student in CP, who finally had to endure the measure for a few weeks.

Likewise, since September 20, the wearing of a mask was already no longer compulsory for vaccinated people, in places subject to the health pass, such as bars and restaurants (the manager however having the possibility of imposing it on his own). he wishes).
And if the prefecture was able to go a little further in lifting the measures this Sunday, it is because the figures for the epidemic, on the scale of the Oise, have further improved.
"The data transmitted by Public Health France have been showing, for several days, a significant and continuous drop in monitoring indicators for the Covid-19 epidemic for the department of Oise," she said.
The departmental incidence rate is, on October 14, 2021, 29.2 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, against 37.1 on October 7.
The positivity rate is 0.8%.
