CDC Eases Distancing Guidelines For Schools

The updated guidelines recommend three feet of separation for elementary students in classrooms, provided masks are worn. Plastic barriers are unnecessary, but six feet of distance is advised in common areas. For middle and high school students, six feet of separation is recommended, especially in high-risk areas, unless cohorting is possible.
