At the beginning of December, COVID-19 cases in counties with in-person schooling were similar to the rates in counties with only virtual classes, researchers wrote in the“CDC recommends that K-12 schools be the last settings to close after all other mitigation measures have been employed and the first to reopen when they can do so safely,” the CDC COVID-19 Emergency Response Team wrote.
The smaller number of cases among younger children could suggest that the risk for COVID-19 transmission in elementary schools and child care centers “might be lower” than in high schools, colleges, and universities, they wrote. As of Dec. 7, about 62% of K-12 school districts offered either full or partial in-person learning, but there have been few reports of outbreaks at schools, the authors wrote. Counties with in-person classes had about 401 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people, as compared with the 418 cases per 100,000 people in counties offering online-only education.
