Return to School During COVID-19
“With the start of a new school year, a lot needs to happen so that students can learn and thrive without raising the risk of spreading COVID-19.
The goal of having children attend school in person–which is how they learn best–will only be safe when a community has the spread of the virus under control. And then, when it is possible to reopen a school for in-person learning, a layered approach is needed to keep students, teachers and staff safe,” according to Children Health.
