Mask rules in California are a-changing, including mandatory masks for school children.
CalMatters.org reported today that state health officials announced that they are working with “education, public health and community leaders to update masking requirements at schools to adapt to changing conditions and ensure the safety of kids, teachers and staff.”
The move — which came the same day three Democratic-led states unveiled plans to end statewide school mask mandates as soon as the end of this month — follows a 65% decline in California’s test positivity rate from the peak of the omicron surge that derailed much of the state’s workforce and forced many schools to temporarily close, CalMatter reported.
“Additional adjustments to the state’s policies” will be announced “in the coming week,” state health officials said.
