People in school is crowded, but nobody truly knows if anyone got covid. if kids go to school everyday like that, does masks still protect them..? how can we keep it safer in school, when everything is necessary!?

For high school and college students, since we cannot identify who is infected with COVID, assume that everyone is a potential exposure risk. Consider a surgical or N95 mask, better protection than a cloth mask and space yourselves out as best you can. Above all, get the vaccine. It will protect you against most of the infection risk, but more important, against risk of death or hospital.

Most important information is the number of students who are unvaccinated. If everyone is vaccinated, then get tested every week. Positive should refrain from on site school. Wearing mask and maintaining distance should keep you protected until virus can no longer circulate in the school community.,if CDC announces booster dose, we all should get it. Hope it helps.
