BOSTON - As COVID-19 infection rates continue to fall, Massachusetts officials are signaling it s almost time to end remote learning and send all school-aged children back to the classroom. While emerging data suggest young children and schools have not been primary drivers of the COVID-19 pandemic, evidence to guide best practices to prevent the spread of the virus in the school setting has been limited and, as a result, national and international recommendations are inconsistent.
A study led by Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) physician-researchers provides new, much-needed data about the optimal physical distancing between students for the prevention of COVID-19 in the school setting.

No one seems to have a clear answer yet, but incomplete data, including studies from Brown University, reports by JAMA Pediatrics, and most recently by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suggest school infection rates are lower than community spread and that the benefits of in-person education outweigh the pandemic dangers.
