CDC: School districts should require universal indoor masking By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - On Thursday during his Team Kentucky Update, Gov. Andy Beshear announced new COVID-19 precautions based on updated guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). "With the delta variant spreading across the U.S. and only 62% of Kentuckians ages 18 or older vaccinated, right now our answer is: Masks plus vaccines equals victory over COVID," said Gov. Beshear. "We are strong enough and resilient enough to do this. We are compassionate enough to know we have to do this." The Governor said his first priority is to ensure safe, in-person instruction in our schools for the maximum number of days. His second priority is to continue the commonwealth's unprecedented economic progress. Gov. Beshear and state officials expect that, without mitigation efforts, the delta variant will spread through unvaccinated workplaces and classrooms, disrupting education and slowing economic growth through loss of productivity and frequent quarantines. Therefore, he announced: K-12 Return to School Guidance Updated to Reflect CDC Guidance: Gov. Beshear said school districts should require universal indoor masking for all teachers, staff, students and visitors to K-12 schools, regardless of vaccination status. Children should return to full-time, in-person learning in the fall with layered strategies in place to prevent COVID-19 infection and transmission. Masks Required in State Office Buildings: The Governor said masks will now be required at all state office buildings, regardless of vaccination status. "I'm fully vaccinated, but I'm still my brothers' and sisters' keeper. I still believe in loving my neighbor as I would myself, so I'm going to mask up," said Gov. Beshear. "I promised when I became Governor that I would lead by example." This story was posted on 2021-08-01 09:08:38
