How to help kids adapt to COVID guideline changes
By CNN staff | June 3, 2021 at 11:59 AM EDT – Updated June 3 at 1:14 PM
(CNN) – Will kids wear face masks when they return to in-person learning in the fall?
That’s a big question for parents and school staff members.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is signaling it may lift that recommendation over the summer.
As of now, the agency recommends students wear masks in classroom settings.
CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said Thursday on “Good Morning America” that vaccination rates among children could change that.
According to Walensky, her agency is reviewing both COVID infection and vaccination rates.
Vaccines are currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration for children as young as 12.
Walensky said she believes the guidance to wear masks in schools will be lifted before classes resume in the fall.
