Vermont Plans Endemic Phase, Ends School Mask Mandate

Mark Levine, commissioner of the Vermont Department of Health, said on February 22 that the state's lowering numbers of Covid cases are part of the department’s plan to transition its treatment of Covid to look more like how they treat other respiratory viruses, as an “endemic” disease. Earlier, on February 15, Governor Scott announced that the state's school mask mandate would be ending on February 28, 2022.
