Philadelphia schools will require masks as U.S. COVID cases spike

Public school students in Philadelphia will have to wear face coverings at school for 10 days after their winter break, officials said, as communities around the country contend with another surge of COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses.

@luckytran This is awesome. Also, I really like the idea of a #MaskMandate with a predictable sunset clause (it's for 10 days after winter break).
@luckytran I hope this is the levee breaking.
@luckytran Excellent public health policy!
@luckytran Omggg finally! I havenโ€™t stopped wearing mine.. havenโ€™t gotten sick this year! (knock on wood)
@luckytran I wish our schools would do this but I think masks are never coming back again no matter how bad things get.
@luckytran Hoping colleges/universities and public transit follow suit.
@luckytran Is it a GOOD mask mandate - i.e. N95+, not worn on your chin - though?
