CBS, 10 Mar 2021
Parents concerned about sending their kids back to school can breathe a little easier, according to a study published in the journal "Pediatrics." The transmission rate at schools in New York City open between October and December was only about half a percent. Dr. Neeta Ogden spoke with Anne-Marie Green and Vladimir Duthiers on CBSN about what this means for the reopening of schools around the U.S. and a new type of test that could shed light on just how widely the coronavirus spread before testing was available.
