COVID-19 cases are on the rise, in part due to the Delta variant of the virus.
The American Academy of Pediatrics released new COVID-19 guidance for schools on Monday that supports in-person learning and, among other things, recommends universal masking in school of everyone over the age of 2. "The AAP believes that, at this point in the pandemic, given what we know about low rates of in-school transmission when proper prevention measures are used, together with the availability of effective vaccines for those age 12 years and up, that the benefits of in-person school outweigh the risks in all circumstances," the guidance says.
With cases on the rises, please be safe and mask up!
