Dem. governors in New Jersey, Delaware set to drop in-school mask mandates: We need to get kids ‘back to normal’
Blue-state governors of both New Jersey and Delaware have set timelines to wrap up in-school mask mandates, according to a Monday report from the New York Times.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) and Delaware Gov. John Carney (D) on Monday announced mask mandates in schools would soon wind to a close.
A spokesperson for Murphy’s office told CNN on Monday that the governor’s office plans to announce a timeline to end the state’s school mask mandate next month, allowing students and school officials to be unmasked as of March.
Murphy, along with other state officials, is expected to hold a COVID-19 briefing on Monday.
Murphy told the Times on Sunday that the March timing is due in part to the region’s improving weather and added that getting rid of masks would be a “huge step toward normalcy.”. – READ MORE
