NYT:
Nearly three weeks into the in-person school year, early data from the city’s first effort at targeted testing has shown the opposite: a surprisingly small number of positive cases.
The city has tested 15,111 staff members and students for the coronavirus. So far, they have gotten back results for 10,676. Out of this number, only 18 people, including 13 staff members and five students, tested positive for the virus.
New York was the first major city to open its public schools for in-person classes. Half of its students are attending only in-person classes for some of the week. “That data is encouraging,” said Paula White, executive director of Educators for Excellence. “It reinforces what we have heard about schools not being super spreaders.”
