CDC says vaccinated teachers and students don’t need masks
On Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said vaccinated teachers and students don’t need to wear masks inside school buildings, further loosening guidelines for reopening schools even as COVID-19 cases surge throughout the country.
The CDC likewise advised schools to reopen even if they cannot guarantee three feet of distance between students.
The new measures are a blunt and provocative stand by the Biden Administration, making clear that no matter how widely the delta variant which is particularly dangerous to children spreads, there will be no reversal of the plan to return to full in-person instruction.
