Atlanta college Brings Back Covid Mask Mandates as Government Doctors in Seattle call for Face Coverings to be Compulsory for Healthcare Workers - amid rise of new Covid variant BA.2.86
Calls for Covid face masks to return are ramping up amid increasing virus rates and the rise of a highly-mutated new variant.
An Atlanta college has become the first since the government declared the pandemic over to mandate masks for students and staff just days after classes began.
Morris Brown College, a private liberal arts school, is requiring students and employees to wear face masks in hallways and lecture halls for two weeks due to 'reports of positive cases among students.'
Officials have also told students to maintain social distancing and banned all parties and large student gatherings for two weeks.
Meanwhile, in an editorial published by the American College of Physicians (ACP), Government doctors and public health experts in Seattle have called for face coverings to be made compulsory in all healthcare facilities once more.
