Make mask wearing mandatory in college & secondary school classrooms.

Ensure lower transmission of the Covid-19 virus by focusing on 15 - 21 age group, who mix outside college & school. Make mask wearing mandatory, in classrooms, as well as, in communal areas, within schools & colleges, where rooms are small, hold a high number of students & have no social distancing.
