Governor Urges Schools to Require Masks as COVID Cases Rise
Governor Cooper issued new guidelines Wednesday afternoon, recommending mask use in schools as students prepare to return to the classroom next month.
The statewide mask mandate is set to expire at the end of the month and Governor Roy Cooper is not planning to renew it. He is, however, issuing a new “toolkit” for schools across the state as they return to in-person learning.
At a press briefing on Wednesday, Cooper said the new guidance urges school boards to require masks, regardless of vaccination status, in K through 8 schools and recommend masking for unvaccinated students and staff in high schools.
