Students in Los Angeles County, California, will be required to wear protective masks at all times when they return to their classrooms, according to a reopening plan released Wednesday.
The 45-page guidelines prepared by the task force on reopening the county’s 80 school districts recommend a host of restrictive practices that aim to maintain social distancing and minimize group interactions. These severe measures include a limit of 16 students per classroom, one-way hallways, staggered use of restrooms and playgrounds, and mandatory face coverings for everyone at all times.
