The decision to continue masking comes after most other mask requirements have been dropped, even on public transportation, which had been one of the last settings masks were required under an order from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A federal judge struck down that federal mandate April 18.
Madison is one of the last remaining districts in Dane County to still have a mask mandate in place after others relaxed their policies. Dane County dropped its countywide mask rule on March 1.
The Madison School District cited rising COVID-19 cases locally as a reason for its repeated extension of its mask mandate. The district’s team of medical advisors unanimously recommended keeping the policy in place, the district said.The 7-day average of new Covid cases is still down 92% from its January peak
