Doctor cautions Missouri school districts against lifting mask requirements
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
A doctor cautioned local school districts from ending their mask mandates too soon during a webinar for educators Wednesday.
The Department of Health and Senior Services and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education held a webinar for school leaders, school nurses and local health officials to keep local leaders informed with COVID-19 updates pertaining to K-12 schools and answer questions.
Several districts have relaxed their coronavirus precautions, with some ending mask requirements. Dr. Rachel Orscheln, associate professor of pediatrics and infectious diseases at Washington University, cautioned against that approach.
