The Department of Health order will take effect Tuesday, Sept. 7 — the day after Labor Day — and will require students, teachers and staff to wear masks when inside, according to people briefed on the plan.
The order will not apply to student athletes while they're playing, the people said. One of the people said the masking order will apply to private as well as public schools and will also apply to child care facilities.
Wolf and administration officials were scheduled to hold a news conference on COVID-19 and the schools at 2 p.m. Tuesday. Wolf declined comment when a reporter asked him about the mask mandate outside his Capitol offices Tuesday morning.
