Local doctors say parents need to stay smart if they plan spring break vacations March 15, 2021 7:10 PM Site staff MADISON, Wis. — This time of year, families are usually fleeing the late-season snowfall by taking off for a spring break trip. While the University of Wisconsin-Madison has cancelled their annual week of spring break due to COVID-19, over the next month, most K-12 schools will still have their week away. The CDC has highly discouraged traveling for vacations since last March, and that guidance is still in place this March. But local doctors say if you are going to travel, you need to be smart about it.
