GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER SAYS ILLINOIS SCHOOL CHILDREN AND STAFF SHOULD STILL BE WEARING A MASK.

DESPITE A LEGISLATIVE COMMISSION VOTING DOWN A NEW SCHOOL MASK EMERGENCY RULE TUESDAY, THE GOVERNOR SAYS THE ORIGINAL MANDATE IS STILL IN PLACE.

SO, GOVERNOR PRITZKER SAYS ALL DISTRICTS NOT COVERED BY THE LAWSUIT NEED TO KEEP MASKING UP UNTIL THE APPELLATE COURT MAKES ITS DECISION.

UNTIL THEN, HE SAYS DISTRICTS NOT INCLUDED IN THE LAWSUIT SHOULD FOLLOW THE MANDATE.
