Why is there a mask mandate in schools? A: We know schools had high transmission rates early in the pandemic, and we want to protect everyone. Utah has been one of the leading states for keeping kids in schools. We want to keep it that way. More info:https://twitter.com/GovCox/status/1380896946089431044?s=20 …

Utah Gov. Spencer J. Cox added,

Utah Gov. Spencer J. CoxVerified account @GovCox

Health officials and the Legislature agreed to keep masks at schools because:

No vaccines are authorized for kids yet.

Not all adults at school are vaccinated.

COVID-19 can have long-term effects on kids.

Asymptomatic kids can give COVID-19 to unvaccinated adults.

John from Provo asks about reining in a governor’s power. A: Power is on loan from the Legislature during emergencies because they can’t respond as quickly. We don’t support reining in executive powers — especially on health and safety issues.

Will there be firework restrictions this year? A: Those decisions will be made as we get closer to fireworks season. We'll work closely with experts, and we ask that everyone be cautious. It's a lot drier out there than you think.

David from Orem asks about car inspection postcards. A: We agree that getting rid of those postcards was a bad idea. The Legislature, to their credit, has fixed it. Those postcards will be going out again soon. You can sign up for email reminders at http://dmv.utah.gov .

  But excluding someone on the basis of race is the definition of racism
