Abbott: Texas to open 100%, no more face mask mandate\">face mask mandate<\/a>. The school, \u200dlocated just north of Washington, D.C., is now requiring \u200cthe third-grade class \u2062and school staff to wear masks for a period of 10 days. This decision comes after &#8220;three or more&#8221; third graders tested positive for the virus.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A \u2063DC area elementary school \u2014 Montgomery County,\u2062 Maryland \u2014 is reinstating a \u2063mask mandate \u2014\u200b N95\u2019s \u2014 for third graders over a few kids testing positive for covid.\u2062 Here\u2019s the letter.

The period ends\u2064 on September 11, as confirmed by\u2063 a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/utah-school-district-pulls-bible-from-elementary-and-middle-school-library-shelves\/\" title=\"Utah school district removes Bible from libraries.\">school district spokesperson<\/a>. Rosemary Hills Elementary, part of the Montgomery County Public\u200c Schools\u200b district, is\u2062 located in Silver Spring.<\/p>\n<p>During this \u200ctime, students and staff must \u2062wear masks, with the\u2063 exception of when they\u2064 are eating or drinking. The school is providing\u2063 KN95 masks to students and\u2062 staff \u2063in the affected classes or activities.<\/p>\n<p>Parents will also receive at-home rapid COVID tests and are asked to report any \u200dpositive results to the school attendance office. Principal Kennedy \u2062expressed gratitude for the support in taking these steps to ensure \u200dthe health of\u2063 staff and \u2064students.<\/p>\n<h3>Mask Mandates Resurfacing Elsewhere<\/h3>\n<p>Rosemary Hills Elementary is not the only institution reintroducing \u200cmask mandates this fall. Morris Brown College, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/maryland-elementary-school-forces-kids-to-mask-up-again\/\" title=\"Maryland elementary school reinstates mask requirement for children.\">private historically black liberal arts school<\/a> in\u2063 Atlanta, implemented a two-week mask\u2064 mandate due to positive cases among students in the Atlanta University\u2062 Center system.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, a major Hollywood movie studio, Lionsgate, reinstated its mask mandate for most of its Santa Monica office employees after several positive cases were reported. The studio implemented contact \u200dtracing\u2063 efforts\u2063 and \u2062distributed free COVID test\u200d kits.<\/p>\n<p>While the White House has not broadly recommended returning to mask\u2064 mandates, the Biden administration has issued warnings about COVID as the colder months approach. The administration recently \u2062advised individuals to consider getting a \u200dCOVID booster shot, as well as flu and RSV shots.<\/p>\n<p>As we navigate these challenging times, \u200dit is important to \u2062prioritize the health and safety of our communities.
