COEUR d’ALENE, Idaho – Another Coeur d’Alene school will be reinstating their mask mandate following an outbreak of COVID-19 cases.
Woodland Middle School will be requiring their 8th grade students and staff to put their masks back on for the next two weeks.
“We just announced a 2-week return to masks for all 8th grade students and staff at Woodland Middle School, also due to a cluster of related cases involving that grade level,” Coeur d’Alene Public Schools Director of Communications Scott Maben said.
Maben said there are at least three positive COVID-19 cases in the 8th grade body of students. He said all three cases are linked.
