Speak Up: Carney extends mask requirement in Delaware schools
Posted
Delaware’s emergency masking requirement in public and private K-12 schools has been extended until Feb. 8 by Gov. John Carney. Children between the ages of 5-11 recently became eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Gov. Carney said in a statement the hope is the extension will provide enough time for enough children to be fully vaccinated by Feb. 8 to lift the mandate in its entirety.
This state stinks. So, the other states without mandates, how are they doing? — Michael Forcade
I was in Tennessee recently. Everything open, lot of travelers. Wear a mask if you want. — Eileen Waldron
They don’t wear them properly anyway. — Tom Small
Most kids do actually. — Dale Bert
My wife is a teacher, and she says they don’t. — Tom Small
OK, and those I know who are teachers say otherwise. What grade does your wife teach? — Dale Bert
High school. Kids take no social-distancing measures. — Tom Small
Again, the experience at the high school I’m aware of is different then. — Dale Bert
They wear a mask in school, but when not in school and at a friend’s house, they are maskless. — Kevin McCarthy
Well, at home, I can control who my kid can be around or not, unlike at school. Plus listening to half the parents on here, I wouldn’t want my child hanging out with them or their kids without a mask. — Dominique Mathis
But 50,000 people can gather for a festival, and that’s OK. Ridiculous. — Samantha Alice Morris
Pennsylvania mask mandate was thrown out. No masks. — Margaret Mclaughlin
Delaware left Pennsylvania nearly three centuries ago. — Gary Greer
