Masks

The prospect for a single masks-required car on NJ Transit trains was discussed at length in a board committee meeting on Friday.

The State Capitol Joint Management Commission voted Tuesday to revoke all COVID-related protocols.

A new sub-variant has NJ officials "watching closely" for a new spike in cases and hospitalizations. But Murphy won't say if new statewide mask mandates are off the table.

Districts that choose not to continue the requirement are being asked to consider active outbreaks, persons returning from isolation or quarantine, symptom onset while in school, and students in "test-to-stay" protocols as scenarios in which masks could return.

School buses are covered by CDC rules for public transportation, and the federal agency says it's too soon to drop mask mandates.

A scheduled vote to extend many of Gov. Phil Murphy's pandemic orders was canceled after he said he'll continue a school mask mandate that's not in the bill.

It's time for civil disobedience. No child should be forced to wear a mask, Spadea says.
