Today pupils in New York make a full return to classrooms for the first time since the start of the pandemic. Is there reason to worry?
ON SEPTEMBER 13TH pupils in New York City, America’s biggest school district, will make a full return to classrooms for the first time since the start of the pandemic. That will be a relief for many parents. But it will also bring fear. In America, until recently adults suffered the highest infection rates; today the virus is spreading fastest among young people .
More recent work indicates that, with masks and other appropriate precautions, in-person schooling may not be that risky. Studies carried out in schools in Oslo, Salt Lake City and New York City during the autumn and winter months tested children and teachers who had been in contact with students diagnosed with the virus. All found that the attack rate—the percentage of people who became infected after exposure—was less than 1%.
