CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) — The Illinois Department of Public Health is offering a word of caution to school districts.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the IDPH have strongly recommended that face masks be worn in schools by anyone who isn't fully vaccinated.
Districts who choose not to follow their advice should contact their insurers. That's because IDPH said there could be issues regarding risk assumption and liability coverage for failure to adhere to public guidance.
The CDC also urged school districts to look to local data from health officials since vaccination and viral positivity rates vary so widely from state to state.
