CDC: Children in elementary schools don't need to be kept 6-feet apart. In a major policy revision, federal health officials said only 3 feet of distance is required between young children in classrooms https://t.co/UBvES1T6ps

Very happy CDC now recommending 3 feet spacing in schools: "The change is momentous .because many schools.. operate on part-time or hybrid schedules in order to reduce class sizes. A 3-foot rule would allow many more schools to open in person, full time."https://t.co/wR88jdUBgM
