NH Department of Education Issues Summer School Guidance

The New Hampshire Department of Education is encouraging educators and staff to wear face masks during summer school sessions, reports NBC 5.

According to guidance released on Friday, teachers and staff members are recommended to wear a cloth face mask when working, especially in cases where it is difficult to maintain a six foot distance and with at-risk students with under-lying health conditions.

Students are also being encouraged to wear masks, although this is not required for students with trouble breathing, who wear hearing aids, or are more apt to touch their face often which leaves the masks less effective.
