By collaborating to create local safety measures, K-12 schools across the Finger Lakes region were able to remain open and secure for students during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a report released today.
Issued by the Finger Lakes Reopening Schools Safely Task Force, the interim report summarizes the task force’s work since its formation in July 2020. As part of its ongoing efforts to reopen schools, the group sent a letter to Governor Andrew Cuomo asking for more clarity on the metric indicators required for schools to open more fully for in-person learning, along with a copy of its interim report.
This week, Moderna and Pfizer will be playing catch-up, distributing a backlog of around 6 million COVID-19 vaccine doses delayed by last week's snowstorms.
