These are the US states that will lift mask mandates soon

 

A growing number of US states, from New York to California, have this week announced plans to roll back indoor mask mandates in the coming days. Some others, like Connecticut and New Jersey, are removing mask mandates in schools. Here are the states' mask removal mandates:

 

New York: Indoors, February 9 Rhode Island: Indoors, February 11 California: Indoors, February 15 Delaware: Indoors, February 1 and in schools, March 31 Massachusetts: In Schools, February 28 New Jersey: In Schools, March 7 Oregon: In Schools, March 31 Connecticut: In Schools, February 28 Illinois: Indoors, February 28

 

 

The White House has yet to update guidance on wearing masks for the general public, but urges students, teachers, and parents to follow CDC guidelines when making decisions about wearing masks in schools, regardless of state rules. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Tuesday that now is not the time to change recommendations or loosen restrictions meant to prevent Covid-19. "Right now, we still have about 290,000 cases every day, and our hospitalization rates are now higher than they were even at the peak of our delta surge," Walensky said. "So at this time, as we look ahead and plan, and we will continue to evaluate and follow the science, our recommendations are consistent with encouraging students to wear appropriate masks."
