The Fukuoka City Board of Education has relaxed the so-called “silent lunch” policy at elementary and junior high schools. The Board of Education of Fukuoka City has relaxed this policy, stating that “conversation is allowed as long as it is not loud.” The Fukuoka City Board of Education has been requesting elementary and junior high schools in the city to refrain from talking during lunch periods. However, the Fukuoka City Board of Education issued a new notice yesterday evening, stating that conversation is allowed as long as it is not loud. The reasons for the change include the fact that the new corona outbreak in Fukuoka City has settled down and the importance of dietary education in which students enjoy eating with their friends. The city will continue to require students to wear masks when saying “Itadakimasu” and “Gochisosama,” as they are likely to be loud and carry a high risk of infection. Source: NHK
