New York state will provide COVID-19 tests and masks in school districts amid a recent spike in cases over the summer, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) announced Tuesday.
The announcement also comes after the recent discovery of the BA.2.86 subvariant in New York City’s sewage, according to city officials.
Hochul’s office Wednesday said the state will conduct outreach to the Education Department and Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) to determine each district’s needs for the test kits and masks, including both N95 and KN95 masks.
Actually yes, it shows you care about others. Don’t bother next time. Thanks.
Well, it depends how germophobic and frighten you are. I would rather see kids without masks.
No, it doesn’t. Why? You want to see infections and deaths go up again? Don’t be silly.
