As the fall season is ramping up for school districts across the country, some students will be required to wear personal protective face masks amid the rise of the delta coronavirus variant, including those in Connecticut and Oregon.
"Being vaccinated against COVID-19 is the most effective means of preventing infection and subsequent transmission," Gov. Lamont said. "Our dedicated state employees must work together to ensure a safe work environment for one another and can do so by getting vaccinated. Those who are not vaccinated will be required to undergo weekly testing. Hospital and long-term care employees will not have this option. Across the country, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown announced that all K-12 school employees must be fully vaccinated before starting the fall school season.More Related News
