What The New CDC Mask Guidelines Mean For Schools

May 14, 2021, 1:02 PM

(From NPR) People fully vaccinated against Covid-19 do not need to wear masks or practice social distancing indoors or outdoors, except under certain circumstances, the director of the CDC announced Thursday. Though the CDC has not yet revised its K-12 schools safety guidance, some schools have moved quickly to change their in-school safety policies. In many places where mask-wearing has become unpopular, families and political leaders want children to be able to learn mask-less — regardless of whether they've been vaccinated. In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis said at a news conference Tuesday that he believes children should not be masked in classrooms, vaccinated or not. In some states, masks in schools are already optional.
