Monroe Board of Ed votes to lift mask mandate

After peaking at an average of over 47 COVID-19 cases per day in Monroe roughly a month ago, the town is currently averaging close to 4.5 cases per day.   The CDC recently announced changes to the metrics for mask recommendations, based upon COVID-19 hospitalizations and overall hospital capacity, in addition to the number of new cases.   Fairfield County’s COVID-19 Community Level is currently classified as “low” by the CDC.  First Selectman Ken Kellogg says the Connecticut Department of Public Health has also advised that communities can be more comfortable in relaxing mask guidelines.  The Monroe Board of Education suspended its mask mandate, in line with the new DPH guidance.  Kellogg noted that some businesses may still choose to require masks and patrons are asked to continue to respect these decisions.
