Quebec Is Making Masks Mandatory For All Students Grade 5 & Up Except In The Classroom

Schools will reopen this fall and students will be allowed to go mask-less in their classrooms. "We want to preserve this facility of communication," announced Education Minister Jean-François Roberge in a Monday press conference, during which he announced the plan for the return to Quebec schools. "Face to face contact is important." Public health officials have approved this step, he said.
