(Dilworth, MN) -- Come Monday, students in the Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton School District will be doing something their peers in Fargo and Moorhead schools have been doing for weeks, masking up.

The district has confirmed to WDAY Radio that starting November 8th, a mask mandate will go into effect for all DGF schools. This is a result of multiple positive cases leading to teachers, staff and even students having to miss class while being quarantined for COVID-19.

The district had avoided a mask mandate to this point in the school year, but has reversed course after the up-tick in cases and absences across all schools.
