Safe Schools for All
Let's work together to keep Schools Safe for All. The best way to protect children from COVID-19 is to have them vaccinated, boosted when eligible,
optimize indoor
air quality (PDF), wear a
well-fitting mask whenever
they have been exposed, maintain clean hands, and
get tested if symptomatic or
exposed, and test before and after major school breaks. Learn more at the
Safe Schools for All Hub.
