California, Washington, Oregon To Lift School Mask Mandates
The state of California is lifting all mask mandates in schools after March 11th, in conjunction with the states of Oregon and Washington.
According to Democratic Governor of California Gavin Newsom’s official website, “[a]fter 11:59 p.m. on March 11, California, Oregon and Washington will adopt new indoor mask policies and move from mask requirements to mask recommendations in schools.”
“State policies do not change federal requirements, which still include masks on public transit,” it added.
In a statement, Newsom said, “California continues to adjust our policies based on the latest data and science, applying what we’ve learned over the past two years to guide our response to the pandemic. Masks are an effective tool to minimize spread of the virus and future variants, especially when transmission rates are high.” – READ MORE
