Masks for schools: a necessary reality

The 2020-2021 school year begins with a new rule: masks for schools . After 6 months closed, the educational centers return this September to open their doors. Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, classrooms throughout Spain were empty on March 13. Along with backpacks and school supplies, masks for schools are the new school uniform. From the age of 6 it will be compulsory, according to the Spanish Government. Its use will be regulated by the Autonomous Communities, in the highest instance, and by the directors of each Center, at the local level. After certifying its effectiveness against the spread of the virus , it is more than understandable that they also go to class. Even more so if we take into account that, to date, the ratio per classroom stands at an average of 25 students. Reason why educational centers of all levels were the first to be suspended. To prevent the easy spread of the virus in crowded spaces, the general measures that have been considered are: - Minimum distance of 1.5 meters between students (requires reducing the number of students per class) - Windows always open to promote proper ventilation - Hand washing and use of hydroalcoholic gel - Very frequent cleaning of all common spaces - Use of the mask at all times Although it is true that, when the time comes and depending on the circumstances of each center, the rules may be more restrictive. For now, given the news that masks for schools will be mandatory, it has been added that rest periods will be established. Especially at the beginning to be able to attend to the individual needs of each student. However, the general trend will be to wear it. The reality that we know is that they are the best way to protect today the future of future generations. Likewise, experts point out that it is necessary to make responsible use of them both when they are worn and when they are not. If we want to continue protecting the environment, the most recommended option is to use reusable masks . In this way, we avoid continuing to pollute the planet and that many end up on the seabed . Did you know that climate change is one of the main causes of many diseases? Experts point out that with the melting of the poles, new pathologies will appear. Aware of this, adolescents have been actively fighting for several years in demonstrations or on social networks on this issue. The little ones are also very aware of caring for the Earth thanks to the work of the schools. Now, the use of the mask is the compulsory subject that all students must successfully pass. But what will be the masks for schools that are allowed? The so-called surgical (disposable) and approved hygienic (renewable). In any case, the institutions insist on the importance of certified masks for schools . That is to say, that they have passed the tests and certifications that guarantee that they are safe, such as those of Rewinder. At Rewinder we think, from the first moment we decided to launch our reusable masks, in the youngest and smallest. We have always had them very present for the active fight they carry out against climate change. Faced with a situation like the one we are experiencing, we wanted the 2020-2021 school year to be the safest for them. For this reason, we made the Rewinder30 Viroblock. These are top quality antiviral masks for schools and reusable up to 30 washes. Certified and recommended by healthcare professionals, what makes the Rewinder30 Viroblock different? Simple: remove the virus. These masks for schools have received a novel antiviral and antibacterial treatment developed by HeiQ, specifically against Covid19. Thanks to this technology, the fabric destroys the virus within minutes of coming into contact with the mask. Like the Rewinder40, they are made with organic cotton and are hypoallergenic . In addition, different sizes are available ( XS, S and M ) so that the use of masks for schools is as comfortable as possible. They can be washed by hand or in the washing machine , which makes it easy for them to be ready every morning to go to school for another day, children and adults will be safe at all times. Only in this way can we guarantee safe spaces for students and teachers that allow the development of the course as normal as possible. Join the Rewinder revolution , let's build the present together loving our future thanks to the masks for schools.
