A second Rhode Island health official has not ruled out bringing back school mask mandates, while speaking in a deposition performed for an ongoing lawsuit brought by parents upset their children had to wear masks at school.

“Based on what we know today, RIDOH would not recommend a masking mandate be put in place,” Jaime Comella, director of the Center for COVID-19 Epidemiology at the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH), said during a July deposition, according to a transcript reviewed by The Epoch Times.
