Teachers drive COVID-19 transmission more than students, CDC study finds
Fox News
A new study finds that teachers may be more important drivers of COVID-19 transmission in schools than students.
In only one of the nine clusters was a student clearly the first documented case, while a teacher was the first documented case in four clusters. In another four, the first case was unclear. Of the nine clusters, eight involved probable teacher-to-student transmission. Two clusters saw teachers infect each other during in-person meetings or lunches, with a teacher then infecting other students. "Educators were central to in-school transmission networks," the authors wrote.More Related News
