Azar also noted that while there are a number of mitigation efforts and guidelines in place to combat the virus, Americans should continue to assess their own vulnerability,"but we believe we can be back to school, we can be back to work, back to health care, if we just practice basic common sense of public health."
Azar's comments come as schools across the nation continue to reopen, either conducting in-person classes, online instruction, or a hybrid of both options. According to data compiled by Edweek.org, only four states have ordered in-person instruction, while a majority have left the decision up to their local school districts and health authorities, on whether to proceed with online instruction or hold in-person classes.
Alex Azar looks on as President Donald Trump announces that the Food and Drug Administration is issuing an emergency authorization for blood plasma as a coronavirus treatment at the White House on August 23. Recently, Azar said,"Being in a physical school environment is vital for our kids, for their physical well-being, their emotional and mental health and also nutrition services.
The study, which was conducted by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Indiana University, the University of Washington and Davidson College, found that resuming in-person classes at colleges led to a minimum of 1,100 new cases per day and a maximum of 5,300. This study has yet to be peer reviewed but has been submitted to JAMA.
