“#NJ Gov will announce mask requirement for K-12 schools<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

New Jersey kids will have to mask up in Garden State classrooms for the upcoming school year.<\/p>\n

Gov. Phil Murphy is planning to announce the K-12 mandate Friday, an administration official confirmed to The Post.<\/p>\n

The move comes amid soaring cases of the coronavirus nationwide, due in large part to the more contagious Delta variant. Children under 12 are still not eligible to get the vaccinations that protect against the virus.<\/p>\n

The governor hadn\u2019t been planning to issue a statewide mandate as of June, although he was in favor of returning to full in-person instruction, according to NJ.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Every county in New Jersey had a high or substantial transmission level, according to the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention figures<\/a>. Under new CDC guidelines, residents in all counties except Warren County should wear face masks indoors \u2013 regardless of vaccination status.<\/p>\n

The CDC has four categories of transmission level, based on new cases per 100,000 of population or a high number of positive tests. Fifty or more per 100,000 means a designation of substantial.<\/p>\n

Murphy, a Democrat, was confronted by anti-vaccination protesters at an event on Wednesday and told them they\u2019d lost their minds.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are the ultimate knuckleheads and because of what you are saying and standing for people are losing their lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are losing their lives and you have to know that,\u201d he told the sign-waving group. \u201cLook in the mirror. Look in the mirror.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fight over masks in schools has been a national debate point, and US Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said Thursday that states looking to ban masks to get \u201cin the way\u201d of a full reopening of in-person teaching.<\/p>\n
