Students benefit from in-person learning, and safely continuing in-person instruction remains a priority.

Vaccination is the leading public health prevention strategy to end the COVID-19 pandemic. Promoting vaccination can help schools safely maintain in-person learning as well as extracurricular activities and sports.

Prevention strategies include vaccination, masking, testing, staying home when sick, improved ventilation, cough etiquette, hand hygiene, cleaning and disinfecting.
