Coronavirus Update: Federal judge strikes down Texas ban on school mask mandates
A federal judge dealt a blow to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s effort to ban schools from mandating face masks, ruling that the ban violated a law that protects disabled students’ access to education.
The news is expected to be welcomed by parents who have fretted about children returning to school in person, before most were eligible for vaccination. California, Colorado and New Mexico remain hot spots where cases are rising faster than in the rest of the country. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s vaccine tracker is showing that 194 million people living in the U.S. are fully vaccinated, equal to 58.5% of the population, a number that has barely moved in weeks.
Steps under consideration include canceling events, closing theaters and cinemas, and earlier closing times for cafés and restaurants, the NOS report said. Schools would remain open. The Netherlands has a vaccination rate of almost 85%, but hospitals are being filled mostly with unvaccinated or partially vaccinated people.
