Ahead the cdc is now urging schools to reopen in the fall after the break a with the new school year fast approaching the cdc has issued new guidelines and strongly in favor of welcoming students back to campus this fall. And the agency cites the low risk of the coronavirus spreading to children however with more than 4 million confirmed cases of the virus across the nation. Not every parent may be ready to take the step joining us now to talk more about these new guidelines is doctor naomi barta with ucsf benioff Childrens Hospital doctor, thank you so much for joining us. I know it is important to note that while the cdc did issue these guidelines california has its own guidelines mandating Online Learning for school the following counties that are still on the states watch list. In a general sense do you think its a smart move at this stage in the game to bring the should students back into a classroom. The best data we have and the best Public Health approach we have tells us said if the community provinces high that it is not a great idea to reopen schools that would not be recommended idea. Its not if its not going to do anybody any favors to get schools reopened for not doing it safely because were just going to close them down again if there if its not safe enough we dont have to supports in place for teachers and for families and for students to do it in a way that doesnt drive transmission. You interact with parents on a daily you know with as a pediatrician. There has to be a balance made between wanting to control the spread of the virus and then having children kind of cut go back into the regular classroom setting how does a parent reconcile Something Like that. I think we have to think about it 2 different ways risks that we think about it and societal level and then theres the rest the individual family or the individual child. So as a society we actually have to think about. That downsides to our kids not going back to school or are real there, but we have decreased educational outcomes. We have problems with depression and anxiety and our weve even been seeing increased rates of obesity in our clinics. And theres also says you know terrible start disparities that are dr. Exist and theyre going to get even worse with Distance Learning and we know that from the spring. But that has to be balanced against the idea that if we we open and we dont have the supports in place for doing good social distancing or charts as the coldest and saying good masking that the ability to do small stable cohorts in schools, good ventilation then its going to be much much much harder for us to do reopening in a successful way so its theres no easy answer just reopen schools, everythings going to be fine. It has to be done in a smart way it was all the resources in place. It definitely is a tough balancing act now doctor burke said that they are issuing these guidelines because spreading among children is low. But the risk is still there and they can bring the virus home to family members that the child themselves that they can they can you know have Underlying Health conditions so its its still a pretty risky situation. Yeah, the theres a theres a rest to passing it. To each other passing to an adult, but the risk of very very very small actually and the rest to childrens directly of the virus is no. But its the adults that we really need to worry about. So if our teachers go back to school and many of them are chronically are sort of on a crackly higherrisk groups, some of them are older, if they go back to school and they get sick and thats where the where the illness happens is is actually adulthood dont transmission thats not good for our kids what is good for teachers is good for our kids is good for families. So i would actually worry the most about the adults in the equation which is counterintuitive we always think about the kids and what if the kids are nervous and dont do it if theyre at risk, its fine. Its actually the adults and the entire School Community that we have to think about you have to take a relatively holistic view. Kids are relatively well rests i would actually want to encourage families to feel a little less anxiety around their own specific children but actually to think about advocating for the whole community. And you mentioned teachers are there any tips that you would give again california classrooms mandated to be Online Learning. If theyre on the states watch list, but lets eat classes, you know they have to go back and are there any tips that you give teachers to kind of take in order to keep themselves safe and you know those in the classroom. Theres a couple things one of which we have this idea in our head which is totally normal we all think that i do it the same thing and the pediatrician we think of the kids as the source of the onus and even taking care of patients weaving of the patients as the infection mess. So were really good at being mindful that infection risk when were with our students are with their patients. And the place where guard comes down is actually one hang out with colleagues trusted friends who are the other adults in the school quite often are in the hospital setting and so people take off their masks and they sit down they talk to their colleagues sometimes without social distancing while theyre eating that actually the place where. I have seen both anecdotally and my own hospital also as ive been doing research in indoor camp settings which are some other schools. Thats where the breakdown happens. And teachers i think if they can be mindful that thats super helpful not just mindful that its natural its normal and so having the School Environments that help people to make sure that doesnt happen. And then thinking a little bit about how. The distance you have a chain you and the students which we know is important. And particularly theres a weird thing about covid which is that because its spread by respiratory droplets. Kids are actually their lower to the ground respiratory droplets fall as do generally aerosols which is the other way you can get covid they fall and so keeping above the kid even if youre having a kid youre preschool teacher, youre a kindergarten teacher, youre hugging the kid comfort them if youre stand taller than them then thats actually what can also protect a little bit and then obviously not obviously but just to make sure to say that out loud good hand hygiene dont touch your face wear your mask are all the things that you want to be thinking about. And its good for night remind their children in addition to teachers reminding children in their classrooms that but i think you so much for joining us. Yeah, thank you.
