Gov. Spencer Cox spoke at the weekly COVID-19 briefing Thursday where he announced the end of Utah’s school mask mandate.
Schools in Utah will not be required to have a mask mandate in place during the last week of the academic year, Gov. Spencer Cox announced Thursday.
But if they choose, individual schools can still institute their own mandates. Cox said lifting the requirement is the right thing to do.
“We've had cases dropping in many, many of our school districts,” Cox said. “We have many schools where there have been no positive cases now for several weeks and we've been able to vaccinate teachers.”
