no. We can't use face shields, or anything else, just these masks that have to go over your face and are very hot.☹️😷🥵🥵 Made by law from Mike Dewine.

To my knowledge, face shields are proven to not work for covid, since they don't actually form a seal against you and just hover in front of your face. The reason I asked about cloth masks in particular is that they tend to breathe better and are either as effective, or very slightly less effective, as the standard surgical masks. I think having a mask mandate in school is extremely wise on the part of your governor though, and I'm happy that you're not being put in danger.

A lot of kids and even some teachers are taking off their masks while speaking. My WHAP teacher is using the excuse that he already got it and that he's technically 6ft away from the rest of the class. My parents won't let me go to online class instead. :( I'm high risk.

I'm so sorry, that's absolutely terrible and frightening. Is there someone you can complain to? Someone health-educated who will understand that you're higher risk and can help to explain to your parents why being in this environment is bad?
