As some parents demand an end to mask mandates for children in school, Connecticut must decide what to do this fall – Hartford Courant

Liz Sommerkorn, 38, who has four children under the age of 12, was one of the first members of Avon’s “Unmask Our Kids” Facebook group. Last year, she chafed at sending her kids to school masked, but did so because there were no vaccines yet and the pandemic was more “uncertain.” Now, with low COVID-19 case rates and high vaccination rates in Connecticut, she questions why her children should return to school masked.
