  • Dear Illinois State Superintendent Dr. Ayala and Members of the Illinois State Board of Education
    Dear Illinois State Superintendent Dr. Ayala and members of the Illinois State Board of Education, We applaud your current school reopening guidelines requiring universal masking at all times for anyone inside the school building. This mirrors what we do in clinical care to keep patients and healthcare workers safe. A group calling themselves Million Unmasked March is staging a protest in Springfield, IL, on July 25th, 2020. They are speaking out in opposition to 1) universal masking in schools and 2) COVID-19 vaccination requirements. We are aware that Million Unmasked has been approaching Illinois lawmakers asking for support, and they claim to have 6000+ supporters. As physicians, healthcare workers, parents, and citizens, we strongly disagree with their opinions on masking and vaccination. Universal masking in schools is critical to keeping students, teachers, and staff safe. As you are aware, it is a cornerstone of the containment strategies we have available to reduce viral transmission: Masking, distancing, hygiene. An international group of over 100 medical scientists endorsed universal public masking to stop the spread of COVID-19 after modeling masking’s effect on transmission rates; these models are based on an interdisciplinary review of all scientific evidence since the emergence of the novel coronavirus. Universal masking is endorsed by the Council of Medical Specialty Societies, which represents more than 800,000 doctors from 45 specialties. The American Medical Association, the American Hospital Association, and the American Nurses Association also issued a joint statement urging the public to observe universal masking. Additionally, more than 5000 concerned health care workers and citizens have signed IMPACT's petition calling for a federal mandate for masks in public.
