    Roseville doctor accused of issuing fake mask exemptions to students


    A Roseville doctor faces criticism from fellow health care workers after being accused of handing out fake mask exemptions to students in the Eureka Union School District. A group of former colleagues and concerned parents allege Dr. Michael Huang, a private practitioner in Roseville, sold complete mask exemptions for students, including a waiver for the wearing of face shields normally reserved for students who cannot wear masks. Dr. David Herbert, CEO of Sutter Independent Physicians, said he’d heard from concerned parents within the district complain about the number of students excused from wearing masks for health concerns unrelated to COVID-19. ...


    Statement from Placer County Office of Education:

    Guidance from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is clear – ‘Assessing for exemption due to a medical condition, mental health condition, disability that prevents wearing a mask, or hearing impairment is a medical determination and therefore must be made by a physician, nurse practitioner, or other licensed medical professional practicing under the license of a physician.’

    Additionally, the CDPH Safe School for All Technical Assistance Team has clarified that ‘nothing in the guidance, as interpreted by the FAQs, restricts local school districts from implementing an additional verification or confirmation step when they receive student mask exemptions.’

    School districts are currently seeking additional guidance from CDPH. Community concerns can be reported and filed through the Medical Board of California by emailing complaint@mbc.ca.gov.
