REVEALED: US is one of only SEVEN countries in the Western world making kids wear masks in schools" by Mary Kekatos U.S. Health Editor For Dailymail.Com, Published: 17:47 EST, 10 November 2021 | Updated: 07:52 EST, 11 November 2021:
The U.S. is one of the few countries still recommending masks in schools as most nations let kids attend classes without face coverings.
Although states are allowed to set their own rules, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests universal indoor masking for all students above age two regardless of vaccination status.
In fact, 68.2 percent of the 500 of the largest school districts in America still require masks, according to data analytics firm Burbio.
But there are only six other nations in the Western world that require or strongly advise kids to cover their noses and mouths. [Emphasis added]
Meanwhile, more than a dozen other countries, including the UK, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Germany and Australia have since dropped their mask mandates or never had them begin with.
