SCHOOL SAFETY
Medical experts from the UCSF Emergency Covid Response, LifeLong Medical Care, and Kaiser Pediatric Mental Health present the science on safe school reopening and on the psychological effects of social isolation. Moderated by EdSource. The risks and benefits of in-person school and distance learning are addressed.
"If we knew in March what we know now, we never would have closed schools as a public health intervention."
