New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy recently suggested that students may have to wear protective masks when they are allowed to go back to school.

When asked during a press briefing whether students will be required to wear masks when schools reopen in the Garden State, Murphy replied that, in his “personal opinion,” students would have to wear masks.
