UTAH – According to the health officials, the masks were purchased using federal money allocated to Utah specifically for fighting the pandemic.
Officials say that masks are not required in classrooms for teachers or students when school starts, but there will still be plenty of them on hand if they want to mask up.
The Utah Department of Health released the following statement:
“Small-sized pediatric masks that are for K-6 students throughout the state. Then we’ve also got some larger adult-sized KN-95 masks for older kids and staff.”
We know that not every staff member in a school is going to take us up on this offer. We know that not every kid who attends school is going to take us up on this offer.
