States, Cities Implement Mandates To Protect Kids From COVID-19

From mask mandates to vaccine requirements, many places are tightening restrictions to fight back against the spread of the virus.

The coronavirus is still hitting kids hard. Two hundred fifty-eight children 17 and under were admitted to the hospital last week, according to the CDC's most recent weekly average. Now, cities and states are putting in new mandates to help keep them safe.

A mask mandate begins in one of Tennessee's largest school districts today, following a federal judge's order.
