On Tuesday, Governor Cooper set the school reopening baseline by selecting Plan B. Most of our local districts are deciding how best to implement this plan, which is a combination of remote and in-person learning.
From limiting the number of people inside the building - to wearing masks - to setting up socially distant classrooms, public school systems say they'll take every precaution and employ every preventative measure. But health officials say coronavirus can still be a threat.
"With these measures and the additional, robust public health requirements in our guidance, we can mitigate - but not eliminate the health risks of reopening," said Dr. Mandy Cohen.
