Schools and other business are questioning their policies and mandates regarding Covid-19. As Covid-19 numbers are rising, and fall is approaching they are trying to see what is best for their students and employees. Some companies have recommended their employees to work from home. Many schools and business have made it clear to students and employees that if they aren’t feeling well or are showing any symptoms to not come. A few schools throughout the country have put in temporary mask mandates or stopped classes the past few weeks due to the rise in Covid-19. However, many schools want to boost attendance rates this year, so they may be hesitant to implanting in mandates or policies that may affect those rates. The CDC recommends people who have Covid-19 to wear a mask around others for ten days or until they get two negative test results 48 hours apart.
Overall, I think this news article is written very well. The lead was very strong. It was short and to the point. It also made me want to keep on reading the news article. I also think this article is news worthy because it is very impactful. We have all been and witnessed the pandemic and know how not fun it was. It also puts CEO’s and school officials in a hard position with how they go about the rise. There is a lot of employees and students at risk here, including the students here at Morningside.
A two-paragraph lead. Similar to a broadcast lead. Get someone’s
attention, then give the news. It’s also a story some media won’t
cover, I bet. Who wants to hear about COVID?
