U.S. CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told Reuters that the agency's guidance for universal masking in schools ‘has not changed’
Feb 8 - With COVID-19 cases still high nationwide, "now is not the moment" to drop mask mandates in schools and other public places, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told Reuters on Tuesday.
Walensky said the CDC has always acknowledged that state and local jurisdictions are responsible for masking policies, but the agency's guidance remains unchanged.

Hospital capacity is “one of the most important barometers” for whether COVID-19 should be considered a pandemic-level public health crisis, Walensky said. Right now, U.S. hospitals remain “overwhelmed” by COVID-19 cases, she added.
