CDC: Schools Requiring Masks Had Lower Infection Rates By Ralph Ellis

Schools that required masks had a 37% lower infection rate and schools that improved ventilation by opening doors and windows and using fans reported a 39% lower rate, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
The CDC said 169 elementary schools in 47 Georgia school districts took part in the survey from Nov. 16 to Dec. 11. Schools with 100% virtual learning were not included in the study. The percentages were arrived at by adjusting for county-level incidence of COVID cases.
