YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy is poised to lift the state’s controversial school mask mandate as the omicron variant’s surge abates.

The move will take effect March 7, Governor Phil Murphy said Monday on Twitter. Districts will have flexibility to decide their own mask requirements.

Murphy, a second-term Democrat, mandated masks last September when in-person lessons restarted statewide for the first time since the pandemic’s onset. Originally, he had said he’d leave mask decisions to districts, but changed his mind when the Covid outbreak worsened.
