"To mask in schools or Not to mask in schools "

As covid case numbers and hospitalizations continue to climb across North Texas and the nation, the American Academy of Pediatrics is out with new guidance. They are suggesting masks in schools for everyone 2 and older. This is regardless if they are vaccinated.

On Ask the Expert, Dr. Dawn Johnson, Medical Director of Children's Health Primary Care Clinic joined KRLD's Kristin Diaz and John Liddle to discuss the issue.

In Texas, a current executive order signed by Governor Abbott blocks any required masking for school districts.
