Alberta orders mandatory masks for staff, students when schools reopen this fall

Face masks will be mandatory for all staff and nearly all students in Alberta schools when they return to school in September, according to changes to the province’s plan for the resumption of classes.

“Emerging evidence has made it clear that masks can play an important role in limiting the spread of COVID-19 in our schools,” Education Minster Adriana LaGrange said at a joint news conference Aug. 4 with Alberta’s chief medical officer of health, Dr. Deena Hinshaw.

The Alberta government will provide two reusable masks for each Grade-4-to-12 student, as well as all teachers, administrators, staff members and bus drivers in the province − about 1.6 million reusable masks in total.

Praise the Lord
