masks

Hear from Ann Arbor parents and an epidemiologist about the city's school mask mandate and the current levels of COVID, flu, and RSV in Michigan.

The CDC advises indoor masking in public spaces when community levels are high, which they are now in 16 counties and Detroit. Most county health departments follow that guidance, and Detroit issued its own official masking advisory.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services recently issued some new guidance around the COVID-19 pandemic. It's meant to help people make personal health decisions around masking and social distancing during this apparent lull in the pandemic.
