The Board of Education of Fukuoka City has relaxed this policy, stating that \u201cconversation is allowed as long as it is not loud.\u201d 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 \u201cItadakimasu\u201d and \u201cGochisosama,\u201d as they are likely to be loud and carry a high risk of infection. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/fukuoka-news\/20220614\/5010016091.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NHK<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-146865\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fnn_school-silent-lunch_2022_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C791&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fukuoka City Schools Revise Silent Eating Rules\" width=\"1400\" height=\"791\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fnn_school-silent-lunch_2022_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fnn_school-silent-lunch_2022_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C170&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fnn_school-silent-lunch_2022_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C579&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fnn_school-silent-lunch_2022_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C434&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Get Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu area news and events in English regularly.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sign up for our <\/span><b>free<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> weekly newsletter.
