SAN FRANCISCO, May 20 (Xinhua) -- Students at public schools in Berkeley, in the western U.S. state of California, will be required to wear masks in indoor spaces starting Monday through the school year which ends June 3, as COVID-19 cases surge in the community, according to an announcement Friday from Berkeley Unified School District officials.
Mask wearing is required at all indoor school events, including graduation ceremonies that take place at facilities off-campus, the announcement said. Berkeley Unified was among the Bay Area school districts that lifted the mask mandate in classrooms in early March.
