The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has updated its guidelines for K-12 schools, reducing the recommended physical distance between students in classroom from six feet to three feet.
The agency on Friday announced it “now recommends that, with universal masking, students should maintain a distance of at least 3 feet in classroom settings.” The guidelines previously stated that “physical distancing, at least 6 feet, should be maximized to the greatest extent possible.”
