CDC director says masks are key for reopening of schools (cnn.com)
(CNN) Getting children back to in-person learning is important for their social well-being -- but the key to reopening classrooms during the coronavirus pandemic is masks, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday.
Dr. Robert Redfield, speaking during a Buck Institute webinar, said everyone should work together to find common ground for reopening in a way that is safe and comfortable with people. He said the CDC is presenting options for school systems, and will release some additional resources this week on how to reopen schools.
One of the resources will look at "how to really take advantage of face coverings," Redfield said. "Because to me, face coverings are the key. If you really look at it, the data is really clear, they work."
