School Opening Questions & Answers - Michael Osterholm

Opening Schools: Where, When, and How

The most recent advice on school openings is given by Dr. Michael Osterholm, an internationally recognized medical detective and director for the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, or CIDRAP, at the University of Minnesota. 

The decision on school openings may depend on many variables said Dr. Osterholm, including differing opending choices for elementary school children, older students, staff issues, and the community spread of the virus in any particular community.

In this week's podcast episode, Dr. Osterholm and host Chris Dall discuss considerations for reopening schools in the fall, the concept of superspreaders and their role in the transmission of COVID-19, and recent statements regarding vaccines and masks, and whether wearing masks will eliminate the pandemic in a few weeks.
