Surgeon General: We need to lower transmission rate of coronavirus to reopen schools

Source: The Hill

"The biggest determinant of whether or not we can go back to school actually has little to do with the actual schools," Adams said on "CBS This Morning." "It is your background transmission rate."

Adams noted that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released recommendations for reopening schools, "but again the most important thing is what we do outside of schools before we reopen to lower the transmission rate."

His comments come as school districts across the country face pressure from federal and state governments to come to a decision on whether to reopen. Adams said students face a lower health risk in the event of a premature school reopening, but the stakes are higher for staff and faculty.
