Fox News
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) could "soon" ease its coronavirus-related physical distancing guidelines for in-person learning from six-feet to three, researchers tell Fox News.
The unnamed CDC employee is involved with the school reopening response and is eager to see the CDC criteria change, according to Dr. Monica Gandhi, professor of medicine and associate division chief of the Division of HIV, Infectious Diseases and Global Medicine at University of California- San Francisco. Further confirmation on the expected shift in guidance came from co-author Tracy Beth Hoeg, physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist and epidemiologist at University of California-Davis and Sports Medicine at Northern California Orthopaedic Associates. When questioned about a potential shift in the distancing guidelines, CDC spokesman Jason McDonald said, "I have nothing at the moment."More Related News
