WABE’s Week In Review: Kemp defends the state’s COVID response and school masks spark lawsuits
More than half of all Georgia public school students are now required to wear masks in class, according to the Associated Press. That compares to just a handful of districts that mandated masks before school began in August, the AP says.
Several metro Atlanta districts dropped their mask mandates over the summer when it seemed the worst of COVID might be over. Then the Delta variant came along. Districts like Atlanta, Gwinnett, Clayton and DeKalb reinstated mask requirements.
