The Illinois Department of Public Health is adopting school COVID-19 prevention guidance put out by the Centers for Disease Control on Friday.
Under the guidance, teachers, and students who are fully vaccinated do not have to wear a mask, but it’s recommended that those who aren’t, continue wearing a mask indoors.
Governor JB Pritzker says he’s pleased the information has been put out.
“It is something that we believed they would do a good job with. I will say its goal is the same goal as our goal, to get every kid back into school this fall,” said Pritzker.
The C-D-C also recommends that students in the classroom are spaced three feet apart and that disinfection, handwashing, screening tests, and other measures continue. The CDC did not mention anything about mandatory vaccination.
