The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cut in half the distance students should remain from one another in classrooms, a step that could speed the reopening of schools.
In guidelines updated Friday, the nation’s public-health agency said K-12 students should remain at least 3 feet apart in classrooms rather than the 6 feet it had recommended previously, a change it said was made possible by new scientific findings. The agency also removed a recommendation that schools install physical barriers such as sneeze guards, partitions or tape and urged schools to consider Covid-19 symptom screening for sports and extracurricular activities.
“I’m hopeful that we are turning a corner on this pandemic,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said. “Getting our children back to school in-person instruction as soon as possible is a critical first step in doing so.” The reduced distance applies to students only, not teachers and staff, the CDC said, because transmission rates of Covid-19 are higher among adults. Also, middle- and high-school students should remain 6 feet apart in communities where transmission of Covid-19 is high if they cannot be divided into cohorts, the CDC said.
The students can stop bullying each other.
Yet still two masks?
I am sure 1-foot distance will become fine as well

This will make no difference in my campus. Our rooms are so small, can only fit 9 desks at 6ft. apart now. Can't change to 3 ft. since students have all meals in the classrooms and masks are off during this time. Also, adults and kids still need 6 ft. apart even with a mask.
Now do masks.
Ventilation, ventilation, ventilation
Withdrawals today !!! I really appreciate all you've done for me, you are the best and I promise to spread your good work Thank you Redmond577
Maybe I'm wrong but it seems to me that a lockdown which allows Uni and 3rd level student institutions to continue to congregate increases the contagion. It is this age group that are spreading the virus to the older population and reinventing a new variant in their communities.
Children have zero risk of Covid, so masks are just a cruel violence...
15 days to flatten the curve!!!

CDC making up shit based on politics at the time.
In my day they made us keep one Bible legth away from the girls at the dance... (didn't work she still got pregnant)
Please update your headline & article to include 3 ft with UNIVERSAL MASKING for all students. This is not mentioned in the article & is a critical part of the change from 6 to 3 feet. The common areas is correct, when a mask is not possible (eg eating) then remain 6 feet apart.
😂
Or one foot. Or no feet. Whatever.
