如果教育局宣佈全港小學停課,IS要跟指引嗎?

The wearing of masks and school closures are 2 issues.

I cannot remember what policies EMB had last time with the use of face masks but school closure arrangement was pretty straight forward.

International schools are a "subset" within the "school family" and are entities under the regulations of EMB.

We all follow the special arrangements with typhoons and rainstorms. So I believe it make sense that international schools would also follow what the EMB or government suggests this time as well with H1N1 influenza arrangement regarding school closures.

However with surgical masks, I guess each school can decide what they want to do, unless the EMB or government announce that everyone should start to wear one at school all the time.  At the moment, I heard that only a few local schools are asking students to wear those common surgical masks.
