Football players at Centre College in Kentucky shovel ice and snow off the field.
Record-breaking low temperatures and winter storms across the southern and central United States caused widespread power outages and forced dozens of colleges to close for at least several days.
The storms hit shortly after many colleges began what will likely be another challenging spring term. More and more institutions are transitioning to some in-person instruction amid the pandemic and welcomed more students to campus than they did in the fall. In some cases, the recent bad weather shut down campus COVID-19 testing and vaccination sites and threw a wrench in colleges’ efforts to keep students and employees socially distant.
The State Journal on Sen. Adrienne Southworth’s proposed bill that would prohibit face mask requirements across the state:
Last week newcomer Sen. Adrienne Southworth, R-Lawrenceburg - the first Republican to hold the Senate District 7 seat, which includes Franklin County - filed a bill that would prohibit face mask requirements during a state of emergency across Kentucky.
According to the sparse wording of Senate Bill 158, only health care workers would be obligated to wear facial coverings during the COVID-19 pandemic and any other virus or disease emergencies.
Southworth said on social media that she filed SB 158 “to start the conversation on how to address acute vs. chronic and local/regional disparity.”
