CDC Recommends Masks For All K-12 Students, Even Those Who Are Vaccinated “Delta is surging because, to date, more than 30% of eligible adults have dragged their feet or outright refused to be vaccinated. Our kids need to be protected, so here we are.”
driving up infections and hospitalizations in all 50 states, the CDC is walking back on concessions that it made when cases reached a low point a month ago. Now, the agency is once again recommending masks for vaccinated adults indoors, and, according to new guidance, for all K-12 students when school starts this fall, regardless of whether they’ve been vaccinated for COVID-19.#covid19Also, everyone in K-12 schools, regardless of vaccination status, should wear masks indoors.
“CDC recommends that everyone in K-12 schools wear a mask indoors, including teachers, staff, students and visitors regardless of vaccination status,” shePresident Joe Biden also spoke about the new guidance, saying he knows going back to masks will be a disappointment to many kids, parents, and school staff.
“Today, the CDC also reaffirmed that we can safely reopen schools this fall — full time,” he said. “Masking students is inconvenient, I know, but will allow them to learn and be with their classmates with the best available protection.” This guidance comes after a number of states have passed legislation saying schools cannot mandate masks for their students or staff.
