Two boys drop dead in China while wearing masks during gym class

 

Two schoolboys have died within a week of one another while taking part in compulsory physical education examinations while wearing face masks in China.

Major Chinese cities and provinces are moving to cancel this term’s running tests amid concerns over student fitness following three months of lockdown and school closures.

Possible breathing difficulties during the exam while mask-wearing remains mandatory in the absence of a vaccine have also led to the decision, reports said.

It comes after two 14-year-old boys ‘suddenly’ collapsed on their school running track and were subsequently declared dead in the county of Dancheng in Henan Province and the city of Changsha in Hunan Province - both in Central China.
