New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said that his goal is a full reopening of schools in September but added that there will be “different types of options if we don’t feel it’s safe to open schools fully.”
He was asked how schools could be considered safe, particularly with the rise in pediatric inflammatory cases.
De Blasio noted that with September still four months away, “let’s not discount the element of time here, what is the world going to look like when you get to July and August, when we will be making the ultimate decisions and they will be based on the facts.”
He added that testing and tracing will bring a whole new “offensive thrust” that can change the trajectory of the virus, adding that they do anticipate more testing focused on school and will implement methodologies for keeping people safe including cleaning.
