Here is the exterior of Frederick Douglass Academy II Secondary School/Wadleigh Secondary School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Harlem, New York. These schools have both been affected by the pandemic in New York City. “Schools reopening this fall would be a good time to reopen, at least in New York City (and that’s the current plan with the NYC DOE). However, some schools in other parts of the country may be able to reopen sooner or later, depending on where they are and how hard their area has been hit by COVID-19,” said Moontachier Tasneem ’23.

Governor Kay Ivey believes that the states which have lifted their mask mandates impulsively are the same states with the most number of current COVID-10 cases. By keeping Alabama's mask mandate, Ivey hopes to reduce COVID-19 transmission. “I’m simply trying to urge you to use the common sense the Good Lord gave each of us to be smart and considerate of others. We need to get past Easter and hopefully allow more Alabamians to get their first shot before we take a step some other states have taken to remove the mask order altogether and lift other restrictions,” Governor Ivey said.
