KALAMAZOO COUNTY, MI (WKZO AM/FM) â Following an update on COVID-19 health recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) last week, the Kalamazoo County Health Department updated its own guidelines Tuesday.
To maximize protection from the Delta variant and prevent the spread of COVID-19 to others, the CDC recommends everyone, including fully vaccinated individuals, wear a mask indoors in public if in an area of substantial or high transmission.
In addition, given new evidence, the CDC is also recommending indoor face masks for all teachers, staff, students and visitors to K-12 schools, regardless of vaccination status, indicating that children should return to full-time in-person learning in the fall with layered prevention strategies.
