[quote=Anonymous]Many school districts in my state (NC) have been open for hybrid instruction since August.  The state is keeping track of the data, and clusters have been very few.  Cases have occurred in proportion to the number of cases in the surrounding communities, but covid isn't spreading in public schools, where mitigation measures are strictly enforced.  It is, however, spreading in Christian private schools that have had many outbreaks because of noncompliance with mask wearing.  There have also been clusters linked to school staff and teenagers holding social gatherings outside of school.

I think NYC is being extra cautious because of what they went through in the spring.  A lot of teachers did die, because we didnt know how to prevent covid spread then.  It's also a place where just getting to work--primarily through public transit--puts school staff at risk.  Also in an urban setting you can't do many of the things that suburban schools can do, like having lunch outside, that are useful for preventing spread.[/quote]
