ANNAPOLIS, Md. — All public schools in Maryland's 24 jurisdictions must require masks to be worn inside their buildings.⁠ ⁠ The new rule goes into effect immediately, following a 10-7 vote by the State General Assembly's Joint Committee on Administrative, Executive and Legislative Review.⁠ ⁠ Local superintendents will be responsible for enforcing it. Those who voted in favor of the regulation said the goal is to keep students and staff safe and in school as much as possible. Masking limits the need for close contacts to quarantine even with a positive case.⁠ ⁠ Click the link in our bio for the full story!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #coronavirus #pandemic #coronavirusupdate #stopthespread #students #maryland
