BACK TO SCHOOL: NEW CDC STUDY SHOWS COVID SPREAD LOW

BACK TO SCHOOL: NEW CDC STUDY SHOWS COVID SPREAD LOW

A new CDC study may make it harder for resistant teachers’ unions to continue to oppose in-person learning until teachers can be vaccinated. The study, released by the CDC, shows that in-person learning poses no elevated threat of COVID-19 spread.

Conducted at 17 rural schools in Wisconsin, the study showed that over 13 weeks, there were only 7 school-attributed COVID cases of the 4,876 students. None of the 654 staff experience a school-related COVID case.

Teachers reported on protocols that were in place during the period of study. More than 92 percent of students wore masks, groups of students were limited to no more than 20, and staff kept a distance of at least six feet when possible. Students were also quarantined after exposure.
