    IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR SCHOOLS

    CDC recommends schools continue to use the current COVID-19 prevention strategies for the 2020-2021 school year.

    Key Points

    1. Evidence suggests that many K-12 schools that have strictly implemented prevention strategies have been able to safely open for in-person instruction and remain open.

    2. CDC’s K-12 operational strategy presents a pathway for schools to provide in-person instruction safely through consistent use of prevention strategies, including universal and correct use of masks and physical distancing.

    3. All schools should implement and layer prevention strategies and should prioritize universal and correct use of masks and physical distancing.

    4. Testing to identify individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination for teachers and staff provide additional layers of COVID-19 protection in schools.
