Beijing Schools Mark End of Mandatory Mask Policy

The long wait is finally over for teachers, staff, and students in Beijing who have been required to wear masks for most of the past three years.

On Monday morning, Beijing authorities officially lifted the requirement for masks to be worn in schools, giving the school-going population the freedom to choose whether or not to wear masks on campus.

According to parents of both local and international schools across Beijing, the wearing of masks on school campuses is now a matter of personal preference.

Several international schools sent formal email notifications to parents this morning informing them of the new policy. Other sources have reported the same move in public schools – all of which finally returned to in-person class today after the extended Chinese New Year Holiday break.
