CONWAY — Masks will not be mandated for students seated in classrooms, provided they can adequately social distance — that’s one of the highlights in the state’s 54-page “Back-To-School" guidance for New Hampshire schools that Gov. Chris Sununu released Tuesday afternoon.
“We all share a goal in getting our kids back to school safely and believe this guidance allows schools to open, but we know each school district will have a different path forward,” said Sununu. “Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, this is a guide that values local control, and helps each school district make the best decision for their students and teachers.”
I find it amazing and disheartening that we as a nation aren't clever enough (or too arrogant) to learn from other countries regarding what works. Most asian countries returned to school in May after being locked down since February. EVERYONE WEARS A MASK. How hard is this to understand? Wake up or die anti maskers.
Stormy8, I thought you people said I was killing grandma by not wearing a mask? I'm healthy as can be and won't even get sick, let alone die, I'm also wide awake..... I find enjoyment in telling people from out of state where to go when they call me out for not wearing one in the grocery store. I don't go to their home town to spread an infectious disease but they have no problem coming to my town and telling me to live by their states rules 🙄
Every day more and more scientist and medical officials are stating that mask are necessary. New information was released by the CDC last week stating that the virus is airborne and the droplets within 6 feet are not the only way to catch Covid. Sending kids back to school and telling them that they do not have to wear a mask in the classroom is criminal and neglectful.
