NYC to change COVID-19 school closure rules but won’t say how or when

The city will modify its controversial two-case COVID-19 school closure rules, Mayor de Blasio confirmed Monday — but he refused to say what the new regulations will be, or when parents will find out.

Hizzoner said the city will extend to Friday an ongoing opt-in period for parents to enroll their kids in classroom learning due to the coming changes — though wouldn’t guarantee they’d know exactly what they were signing up for by then. Currently, any school building with two or more unrelated coronavirus cases is immediately shuttered for up to two weeks — a threshold that has closed hundreds of schools each week.
