Concerns have been raised about masks not needing to be worn at schools.  

Now in Orange, masks are still compulsory at retail stores, public transport and planes or when visiting a public or healthcare facility.   

But they're dropped for hospitality patrons and in schools.  

Developmental paediatrician Jin Russell told Kate Hawkesby while it's not mandatory - it's still strongly recommended.  

She says the pandemic's not over - there are still thousands of Omicron cases circulating in the community and some of those will pop up at schools.
