[quote=Anonymous]We haven't seen a single case since the mask mandate was lifted. I'm unsure of the percentage of kids unmasked, though. I think older grades are more likely to be going maskless and I think almost all PK kids remain masked (I'm guessing because they are unvaccinated?). But the interesting thing about this to me is that I feel like masks in PK and the younger grades are much less effective in general, because the kids don't wear them properly and are much more likely to wear a thin cotton mask due to age and the challenge of finding KN95/94 masks that fit them. In any case, my sense is that maybe 30-40% of kids are going unmasked but that it has not impacted Covid rates at the school at all. We'll see if the new strain spreads the way Omicron did -- we had quarantines in every single grade in mid-December due to Omicron and back then everyone was masking. I'm just not convinced masking is the key here.[/quote]
