Breaking: Philadelphia Reimposes School Mask Mandate

The Philadelphia school district is reimposing the K-12 indoor mask mandate for students and staff beginning Monday.

Masks will need to be worn in school facilities and while riding on public school transportation.

The decision to resume mandatory masking was made in response to a spike in Covid-19 cases in the region and per the recommendation of the Philadelphia Department of Public Health (PDPH), superintendent William Hite said in a statement Friday.

Hite also reminded that positive Covid-19 tests must be reported to the school system. “As we've learned since the pandemic began, the coronavirus continues to evolve and so too will our response to it,” he said.
