Students who are sitting/standing close to each other unmasked will be at highest risk for COVID. Students masked but still close to each other will be at lower risk. Students masked, spaced 3-6 feet apart and fully vaccinated present the best scenario especially with rising incidence of COVID in the general population. These people are least likely to end up on a ventilator or deceased.

Agree with Dr Horn. To protect yourself & your family & community please get vaccinated if you are eligible! If high school students aren’t vaccinated & don’t take distancing & masking seriously outside of the classroom they are at risk!
