Abstract
AbstractBackgroundSchool reopened in August-September 2020 and their effect on COVID-19 infections is unclear.MethodsWe examined Coronavirus Disease-19 incidence following school reopening in Florida.ResultsWe found that counties teaching physically had 1.2-fold incidence increase in elementary schools and 1.3-fold increase in high schools, while counties teaching remotely had no increase.ConclusionsOur results suggest that counties teaching physically could consider teaching remotely, especially in high school, until it is safe to teach physically.What was knownSchools reopened in August-September 2020, with some teaching remotely, since the effect of physical reopening on COVID-19 infections is unclear.What we addedcounties teaching physically had 1.2-fold incidence increase in elementary schools and 1.3-fold increase in high schools. This suggests that counties teaching physically could consider teaching remotely instead, especially at the high school level.
