Alabama and Maryland schools bring back Covid face mask mandates as infections soar

All students and employees at an Alabama high school have been instructed to don masks once more. Additionally, a Maryland school required students to wear N95 masks for ten days

A number of schools throughout America are reintroducing face mask requirements as new Covid cases soar. Since late last month, Kinterbish Junior High School in Alabama has requested that all students, faculty, and visitors begin wearing face masks in the classrooms and corridors “due to the slow rise of Covid cases in the area”.

The more than 1,700-student Talladega City School system in Alabama has likewise advised students and employees to wear masks, but emphasised that doing so is “encouraged but not required.”

Although only a small number of students at the Maryland elementary school tested positive for Covid, this week’s announcement that students must wear snug-fitting N95 masks for 10 days incited indignation.

While facial coverings are highly promoted in some classes in Los Angeles, New York health officials are also giving away free masks to schools in the state in response to increased Covid rates and absenteeism.
