The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revised its guidelines for schools today (March 19, 2021), saying three feet of distance between students is sufficient for all elementary and many middle and high schools, a change that lays the groundwork for districts to reopen full-time for in-person classes, according to the Washington Post website.
The announcement came as the CDC published new research that found limited coronavirus transmission in schools that require masks but not always six feet of distance, which had been the standard.
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said in a statement today: "CDC is committed to leading with science and updating our guidance as new evidence emerges. These updated recommendations provide the evidence-based roadmap to help schools reopen safely, and remain open, for in-person instruction."
