- An update to a CDC study on school mask mandates, using nearly six times more data, found no significant relationship between mask mandates in U.S. schools and COVID-19 case rates
- In Kansas, counties with a mask mandate had significantly higher COVID-19 case fatality rates than counties without a mask mandate
