A Maryland suburb near Washington D.C. finds itself faced with the challenge of addressing a slight increase in positive COVID-19 cases and, as a precautionary measure, has reintroduced a temporary masking policy for students. With the safety of students and staff in mind, masks will be required for a period of ten days before being made optional again. In a letter sent to parents, it was explained that '3 or more individuals tested positive for COVID-19,' which prompted the need for masks. The school will also send home rapid test kits and encourage testing at least 5 days after exposure or whenever symptoms arise. Any positive COVID-19 results should be reported to the school attendance office. In Montgomery County, Maryland, an elementary school has decided to reinstate a mask mandate for its students, specifically targeting third graders after a small number of positive COVID-19 cases were detected. Author Travis shared the letter, expressing a concern regarding the return of mask requirements for children. The post quickly garnered substantial attention on social media platforms, with over five million views. Consequently, it sparked a debate among public officials regarding the reinstatement of masking policies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
