Comment on CDC now says 3 feet between students is enough

Three feet of distance between students is sufficient for all elementary and most middle and high schools, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Friday, a change in its guidelines that lays the groundwork for more school reopenings nationwide and that could ease crowding concerns in some Iowa districts.The announcement came as the CDC published new research that found limited coronavirus transmission in schools that require masks but not always 6 feet of distance, which had been the standard.
