New modeling report explores options for safer return to in-person learning
Yesterday, the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) and the Institute for Disease Modeling released a new report, the fourth in a series, that explores what can be done to mitigate the introduction and spread of COVID-19 within schools and the larger community.
Closing schools early in the COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with significant reductions in disease transmission at the community level, yet K-12 schools that have returned to in-person learning have reported few outbreaks. See the DOH news release for more details. Local school metrics are available from Kitsap Public Health.
