New York: TK through 12th grade students and staff in New Jersey will be asked to wear a mask in the room regardless of vaccination when public schools open in the fall, Governor Phil Murphy said on Friday, reversing the previous position as a Delta variant from Coronavirus spread .
Guidance changes from more than a month ago reflected the surge in Covid-19 cases and hospitalized driven by a very contagious variant, Murphy said at a press conference.
“There are problems that and must always stay on politics, and this is one of them,” Murphy said, a Democrat who was the only US Governor of the US for re-election this fall.
The debate around the Mask in US schools returned last month when disease control centers and prevention were reversed and recommended that all students and staff wear masks in school regardless of vaccination status.
Patchwork policies have emerged from the state to the country, and even the city to the city, around problems that have become very political in the United States.
In New Jersey, Covid-19 cases rose 105% over the past two weeks, according to Reuters analysis of public health data.
Inpatient has surged 92% in the past four weeks, data shows.
About 67% of New Jersey residents have received at least one dose of Covid-19 vaccine.
The level of US vaccination varies greatly from the highest of 76% of Vermont residents who received the first dose to 41% low in Mississippi.
The country with a lower level of vaccination has been hit by a rapidly spread variant.
Florida, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi for half of the new cases and hospitalized in the last week, the White House officials said.
‘Outrage Moral’in Florida, the Education Council on Friday adopted emergency rules that would allow parents to move their children to other schools “when a student became harassment in response to the Covid-19 mitigation protocol of the school district,” including the mask protocol.
Newly approved rules allow parents to move their children to private schools or schools in other districts with hope scholarships, funds initially created to allow Florida State School students who are victims of intimidation to move to different institutions.
During an emergency meeting, one parent said the government of “moral anger” which equalized the mask of the school mask against harassment and intimidation.
Governor Ron Desantis, a republican, issued executive orders last week blocking the mandate in state schools.
There were 13,427 Covid-19 patients treated in hospitals in the state of Friday morning, a new record high, according to data from the Ministry of Health and US Human Service (HHS).
BROWARD COUNTY Public School Board will meet on Tuesday to decide how to move to attend desantis orders.
Rosalind Osgood, Chair of the Board, said he planned to choose a mask for students and school staff in the county, told CNN on Friday: “I don’t want to risk with someone’s life when we have a deadly pandemic.” Some of the largest school districts in this country include New York and Los Angeles have made mandatory masks for the coming school year.
