Public school students in New York City will be met with increased COVID-19 testing when they return from winter break, according to the city’s new plan.
Under the plan released on Tuesday at a press conference with outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio and Mayor-elect Eric Adams, the return to school for the city’s more than 938,000 students will take place on Jan. 3 as originally scheduled. There will be a new test-to-return policy for students who share a classroom with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.
