Democratic Board of Selectmen and Education Candidates Question Current Administration’s Change to Masking

From the Steinberg Savin Campaign 

“We question the current administration's decision to ignore CDC guidance by making masks in gyms and fitness settings optional. We imagined a different fall, one with fewer if any restrictions. But right now, CDC guidance is for everyone in areas experiencing high transmission to wear masks indoors. If one of our highest priorities - in this first week of school - is ensuring that our schools remain open safely, it's only prudent to continue wearing masks in every indoor setting. It's disappointing but necessary. We can re-evaluate in two weeks as the situation evolves.”
