The city said that officials “strongly encourage” all eligible students to get vaccinated and that all students and staff members “should and are encouraged” to get tested before classes resume Monday.
Mayor-elect Eric Adams, who is scheduled to be sworn in Saturday, said: “The numbers speak for themselves — your kids are safer in school. Thanks to testing, vaccinations and at-home testing kits, we’ll keep it that way.” Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said Thursday on MSNBC: “We need to make sure our students have access to in-person learning full time.“I think they’ve suffered enough over the year and a half, and the good news is we know what to do. We have the tools to make sure vaccination is available to all students, testing protocols are being developed across the country,” he said.
If students show symptoms or are required to quarantine because they are unvaccinated and have identified close contacts who tested positive, they should be kept home regardless of the test results, the school district said. Students who test positive should reach out to their schools’ main offices and follow local isolation guidance.
this is a weak covid case for kids. they odds are better they will be killed by a lightning strike than by COVID.
