Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf said Tuesday that students, teachers and staff will be required to wear masks in K-12 schools under a new statewide health order, as Covid-19 cases jump from the Delta variant (https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-delta-variant-and-covid-19-vaccines-what-to-know-11627079604) and the school year gets under way.
賓夕法尼亞州州長湯姆·沃爾夫(Tom Wolf)週二表示，隨着新冠肺炎病例從三角洲變異病毒(Delta Variant(https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-delta-variant-and-covid-19-vaccines-what-to-know-11627079604))激增，隨着新的學年開始，K-12學校的學生、教師和工作人員將被要求在全州範圍內佩戴口罩。
The order will apply to public and private schools, early learning programs and child-care facilities, and take effect Sept. 7. The order doesn't apply to school sports or outdoor activities.
該命令將適用於公立和私立學校、早期學習項目和托兒設施，並於9月1日生效。7.該命令不適用於學校體育或户外活動。
"Requiring masks in schools will keep our students safer and in the classroom, where we all want them to be," said Mr. Wolf, a Democrat.
民主黨人沃爾夫説，“在學校要求學生戴口罩將會讓我們的學生更安全，讓他們呆在我們都希望他們呆在的教室裏。”
He had asked state lawmakers last week to come back into session to pass a mask mandate, but they declined.
他上週曾要求州議員重新開會，通過一項面具授權，但他們拒絕了。
The governor said he would have preferred to let local school districts make the decisions, but that an "aggressive nationwide campaign is spreading misinformation about mask-wearing and pressuring and intimidating school districts to reject mask policies that will keep kids safe and in school."
這位州長説，他更希望讓當地學區來做決定，但“一場咄咄逼人的全國性運動正在傳播有關戴口罩的錯誤信息，並向學區施壓和恐嚇，要求他們拒絕將保護孩子安全和上學的口罩政策。”
The issue has been controversial across the state, with parents on both sides voicing their views in often heated school board meetings. Republican lawmakers, who control the Legislature, have said they think mask rules should be set by local officials based on local conditions.
這個問題在全州範圍內一直存在爭議，雙方的家長都在經常激烈的學校董事會會議上發表了自己的觀點。控制立法機構的共和黨議員曾表示，他們認為面具規則應該由地方官員根據當地情況制定。
"The governor again claims he knows better than our neighbors on the boards and parents of students," Rep. Torren Ecker, a Republican, said in a statement.
共和黨眾議員託倫·埃克爾(Torren Ecker)在一份聲明中説，“州長再次聲稱，他比我們的董事會鄰居和學生家長更瞭解情況。”
A map of mask rules statewide posted by Mr. Ecker showed that the vast majority of the school districts in the state had some form of optional mask wearing, as opposed to the governor's mandatory requirement.
埃克發佈的一張全州範圍內的口罩規定地圖顯示，該州絕大多數學區都有某種形式的可選口罩佩戴，而不是州長的強制性要求。
