The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and the Will County Health Department (WCHD) have both fully adopted updated Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) masking recommendations to protect against COVID-19 and the Delta variant.
Among those is a recommendation that when kids go back to school, they do it masked, regardless of vaccination status.
But as of now, local school districts are still working through the data, with no announcement yet if the start of the school year will switch from mask optional to mask required.
