The School District of Philadelphia reinstated face masks in schools, a month after masks were made optional, due to an uptick in cases in the area, the district announced.
"Until further notice, all School District students and staff will be required to wear their masks during the school and work day and while riding on school buses and vans," the Friday announcement said. "As we've learned since the pandemic began, the coronavirus continues to evolve and so too will our response to it," Superintendent William Hite said in the announcement.
"Should parents be worried if their child's school no longer requires masks? An expert weighs inSchool districts in neighboring Montgomery County have also reinstated face mask policies after the county was"designated as high risk," said a tweet from the Norristown Area School District."NASD will require masks to be worn indoors by students, staff, and visitors," the district said."We appreciate everyone's cooperation.
