New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) is expected to lift the mask mandate in state schools for both students and employees in March.
According to the New York Times, the mandate in New Jersey schools will end in the second week of March, approximately two years after the virus outbreak began.
It is the first time that New Jersey has relaxed its school mask mandate since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, indicating a shift in how the state views the virus.
On Sunday, the state recorded approximately 1,600 new cases, a significant decrease from the peak of 33,000 cases one month ago.
The debate over wearing masks in school has been a contentious issue. Several districts proposed their own mask rules last summer, prior to the start of the new school year, challenging the governor’s blanket mandates, including his home district of Middletown.
Agree, I kind of approach this with "I'll believe it when I see it"
I am sure some of the school boards will sue or strike to re-enforce the masks. Maybe the private schools will not and it will force more parents away from the public schools.
The harm done is already starting to show. In my child's school they just introduced speech therapy which is a first time for the school. Also, where we train in martial arts, there are several kids with speech development issues and just happen to wear masks. Proper breathing is very important in the style that we train in & how can one effectively breath with the restriction of the masks?
I can't see how these parents are not able to put the two together. Their fear has overcome their ability to use common sense.
