\n\n“Young children do<\/em> transmit the virus, and variants like the more-transmissible B.1.1.7 lineage increase how likely kids are to spread COVID-19. It\u2019s also important to note that those low rates of children transmitting COVID-19 are very dependent on behavioral modifications \u2014 in particular, wearing masks indoors. A brand-new study out on Thursday found that risk-reduction strategies<\/a> like teachers wearing masks, kids wearing masks, checking symptoms daily and canceling extracurricular activities like sports made the difference between in-person schooling that spread COVID-19 from kids through their families and in-person schooling that didn\u2019t significantly increase the spread of COVID-19.”
…
“kids going unmasked outdoors \u2014 unless they\u2019re in a large, closely packed group \u2014 is probably fine. But masking indoors remains an important way to keep COVID-19 from spreading among unvaccinated people of all ages.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
