New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio encouraged schools to move classes outdoors when the new school year starts next month, as part of their strategy to resume learning amid the ongoing pandemic.

“We know the disease doesn’t spread the same outdoors,” de Blasio said Monday during his daily press briefing. “We want to give schools the chance to do as much outdoors as they can.”
