Stuttgart - Quarantine measures have been taken at many schools, and classes have been canceled on a massive scale.

The schools must remain open and at the same time safe places.

That is why masks should be worn in class again after the autumn break, the associations demanded on Thursday.

In the southwest, students have no longer had to wear mouth and nose protection in class since October 18 when they are seated.

Teachers can also do without the mask in class, provided they keep a minimum distance of 1.5 meters from the students.

A mask must still be worn everywhere else in the school building.

In primary schools there is no mask requirement in the classroom.

"The attempt to abolish the mask requirement in the classroom for educational and psychological reasons has failed for the time being due to the flare-up of the pandemic," said the association's statement.

This was also shown by the incidences of 5 to 14-year-olds in the federal states without a mask requirement.

“Masks in class are a great help in preventing infection,” the students, parents and teachers' associations continue to write.
