CDC provides roadmap to reopen schools safely
SALINAS, Calif. (KION) The CDC is providing a roadmap for schools across the county to reopen safely. CDC suggests that there is strong evidence that in-person schooling can be done safely.
The CDC highlights five key mitigation strategies to ensure the safety of children and staff: the universal and correct wearing of masks; physical distancing; washing hands; cleaning facilities and improving ventilation; and contact tracing, isolation and quarantine.
Vaccines and testing are not among the "key" strategies the agency lays out, calling them "additional layers" of Covid-19 prevention.
