As public school officials across the country weigh options amid the recent spike in COVID-19 cases, the U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona on Thursday said students should be in classrooms learning in-person every day when possible.

Appearing on ABC’s “Good Morning America,“ Cardona was asked what schools should do in response to the increasing CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus infections driven by the Omicron variant. The Omicron concern has prompted some schools to send students home early before Christmas, while other schools are considering a delay of the new school year or a temporary return to remote instructions.
