translated from Spanish: Covers will be optional in U.S. schools

Georgia.- This week began in the United States a new school year, however, the most important clue to the persistent Covid-19 crisis were the covers worn by students and teachers, but not all, since these are optional. Georgia, like most states, leaves it to local schools to decide if they need to cover their faces. And Henry County, with 43,000 students, like many districts worn down by months of conflict over masks, has decided not to dwell on them. Instead, they are “highly recommended.” Many parents Wednesday in this southern Atlanta suburb had mixed feelings about politics. Some kept their children at home at odds with that. Others sent their children to class with their faces covered. Shatavia Dorsey, mother of a kindergartener and a fifth-grader, said her children will wear their masks at school regardless of the rules. With the delta variant spreading rapidly, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatrics have warned in recent weeks that everyone in schools wear masks in communities with substantial or high transmission. Educators have had to deal with strong resistance to the masks of some parents and political leaders. Some see mask rules as an encroachment on parents’ authority to make decisions about their children’s health. The states of California, Louisiana, New Jersey, Oregon and Washington intend to require masks for all students and teachers, regardless of vaccination status. At the other end of the spectrum, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Utah have banned mask requirements in public schools.
