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.
