School closures of 8 weeks or more may better mitigate coronavirus spread, CDC says
(CNN)Closing schools for eight weeks or more may have a greater impact on mitigating the spread of the novel coronavirus than two- to four-week closures, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said.
Shorter-term closures will likely make little difference in the spread of the disease, new CDC guidance states, even as K-12 school districts across the country began announcing school closures within the shorter time frame.
Further, short-term closures may actually have detrimental effects, negatively impacting older caregivers at home, the CDC said.
