During the last week of the school year, masks will no longer be required for students in Utah’s K-12 schools.
Gov. Spencer Cox announced during his Thursday COVID-19 briefing that the state will not require students to wear masks during their final week of school this year. Individual districts will still have the option to impose a mask mandate if they want.
“This will give students an opportunity to see their teachers, to see their friends, to spend that last week together without a mask if they so choose, he said.
Gov. Cox said making this decision required considering both the children who haven’t been able to see their teachers faces this year and those whose families may have members at higher risk of complications from COVID-19.
