CDC releases new guidance to allow children exposed to coronavirus to attend school

WASHINGTON, Dec 17 (Reuters) - The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a new strategy called "test-to-stay" that allows unvaccinated children to stay in school even if they have been exposed to the coronavirus, agency Director Rochelle Walensky said on Friday.

"If exposed children meet a certain criteria and continue to test negative, they can stay at school instead of quarantining at home," Walensky said during a press briefing.

Some states are already advising their schools to use "test-to-stay" strategies in order to keep more children in class.
