California plans to require masks for all students in the fall despite guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that says vaccinated students and teachers don’t need to wear them amid proper physical distancing. Not all schools are able to accommodate three feet of social distancing as the CDC recommends, state Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly said. The CDC's new guidance says that masks should be worn if social distancing can't be achieved. CDC SAYS SCHOOLS SHOULD OPEN IN FALL, RECOMMENDS MASKS FOR UNVACCINATED"Masking is a simple and effective intervention that does not interfere with offering full in-person instruction," Ghaly said, according to FOX 11 in Los Angeles. The CDC has advised schools against requiring vaccines for teachers and eligible children, according to FOX 11.
