[Reporter Wu Liangyi/Taipei Report] The Central Epidemic Command Center announced that starting from March 6, the measures to wear masks on campus will be relaxed, and indoor masks in schools, kindergartens, photo centers, cram schools, and baby care centers will be relaxed. Students can decide on their own. Whether to wear masks in the classroom, Zhang Ziqiang, chairman of the Taiwan Social Psychological Rehabilitation Association, said that the loosening of campus masks is actually an independent method, and it is up to teachers and students to decide whether to wear them or not. It is a habit adjustment (from wearing masks all over the campus to loosening masks on campus) Schools, parents, students themselves, etc. need to be mentally prepared, step by step and respect autonomy to reduce the pressure of not wearing a mask.

Zhang Ziqiang said that although some parents worry that students may be bullied if they wear masks, or that they will have appearance anxiety if they don’t wear masks, the discomfort of not wearing masks does not only appear when the school is loosened. Some people were also worried about these problems when the indoor masks were loosened. However, it has been two weeks since the implementation, and there has been no serious appearance anxiety or workplace bullying. Let us face the transitional period of lifting the ban on masks together.”

He reminded that the school announced that masks are loosened, but it is not mandatory. If students feel comfortable wearing masks, they should respect them. Classes do not need to specifically name those students who wear masks or do not wear masks. Parents care about students' attitudes towards the loosening of campus masks and support them. Students themselves can measure whether they need to wear masks or not.

Zhang Ziqiang said that anxiety about appearance is not directly related to wearing a mask. It should be that wearing a mask usually only exposes the eyes and neglects shaving or makeup. After taking off the mask, it takes some time to take care of these.

In addition, individuals can build self-confidence in their work ability and professional performance, find out their strengths and express them, gather and discuss with familiar friends and family members, and reduce unnecessary comparisons, etc., can reduce the risk of not wearing a mask. anxiety that arises.

Zhang Ziqiang reminded that wearing a mask is purely for protecting oneself and others, not just for beauty. Although the epidemic has stabilized, personal epidemic prevention measures must be taken in public places in order to live a safe and healthy life.
