Docsun Biomed Covid Report On Guidance for COVID-19 Prevention in Educational Institutions

JHUBEI CITY, Taiwan - Oct. 6, 2021 - PRLog -- Docsun Computation Medlab Ltd report on the guidance of COVID -19 prevention in educational Institutions based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendation of universal indoor masking for all teachers, staff, students, and visitors to educational Institutions, regardless of vaccination status.

Schools should communicate their strategies and any changes in plans using accessible materials and communication channels.

Docsun On Key Points to Consider as Prevention Measures in Educational Institutions

• Students benefit from in-person learning, and safely returning to in-person instruction is a priority.
• Vaccination is the leading public health prevention strategy to end the COVID-19 pandemic. Promoting vaccination can help schools safely return to in-person learning as well as extracurricular activities and sports.
• Due to the circulating and highly contagious Delta variant, CDC recommends universal indoor masking by all students (age 2 and older), staff, teachers, and visitors to educational institutions, regardless of vaccination status.
• In addition to universal indoor masking, CDC recommends schools maintain at least 3 feet of physical distance between students within classrooms to reduce transmission risk. When it is not possible to maintain a physical distance of at least 3 feet, such as when schools cannot fully re-open while maintaining these distances, it is especially important to layer multiple other prevention strategies, such as screening testing.
• Screening testing, ventilation, handwashing and respiratory etiquette, staying home when sick and getting tested, contact tracing in combination with quarantine and isolation, and cleaning and disinfection are also important layers of prevention to keep schools safe.
• Students, teachers, and staff should stay home when they have signs of any infectious illness and be referred to their healthcare provider for testing and care.
• Many schools serve children under the age of 12 who are not eligible for vaccination at this time. Therefore, this guidance emphasizes implementing layered prevention strategies (e.g., using multiple prevention strategies together consistently) to protect students, teachers, staff, visitors, and other members of their households and support in-person learning.
• Localities should monitor community transmission, vaccination coverage, screening testing, and occurrence of outbreaks to guide decisions on the level of layered prevention strategies (e.g., physical distancing, screening testing).
