New CDC Guidance on Schools: Unvaccinated Students and Staff Need to Continue Wearing Masks

@COVID19Up: Students who are vaccinated don’t have to wear masks in school this fall unless they are riding the bus or their school decides otherwise, according to new guidance released Friday by the CDC.

The new federal guidelines aren’t mandatory but are expected to influence school officials, local health departments and governors who are in the midst of preparing for students to return to the classroom full time this fall.

The CDC recommendations specifically call for unvaccinated students and staff to continue mask-wearing and encourages schools to offer voluntary routine testing at least once a week. It also encourages 3-feet of distancing among unvaccinated kids in the classroom.
