The French government announced Thursday that primary school students in areas with a low CCP virus infection rate will no longer have to wear face masks starting next month.

According to a government decree issued on Sept. 30, the new rule will go into effect from Oct. 4 and will include regions that have fewer than 50 CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus cases per 100,000 citizens for five consecutive days.
