Victorian teachers will be able to educate students mask-free despite the state’s shift to face coverings to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Victoria’s Deputy Premier James Merlino said in a media conference Monday that “it is not a requirement for teachers in the classroom because it’s not always practical”. “They won’t be required to wear a mask during instruction, but beyond the classroom, in the staffroom, in the schoolyard, teachers and staff will be required to wear a mask,” he said. Mr Merlino said the Victorian government has 1.

2 million single-use masks which will be distributed to all government schools in Melbourne metro and Mitchell Shire along with Catholic and independent schools, with another order of 1.3 million reusable masks expected to arrive early next week. The Department of Education will be one of the first to receive a batch early next week of 1.3 million reusable masks. “Any student who needs a mask will be provided with one,” Mr Merlino said.
