The single most important thing an individual can do to protect themselves and others is wear a quality N-95 mask properly. ⬅️

Make sure it's tight against your face & around your nose.

Layered Mitigation
"School administrators, teachers, and parents to provide the safest environment, it is important to utilize multiple mitigation strategies and contract tracing that reduce SARS CoV-2 transmission by at least 69%."

It works best when everyone does their part to protect the rest of the community.

"Universal masking, in-person education was associated with low rates of secondary transmission, even with less stringent distancing and bus practices."

Home Mitigation Tips

1. Air purifiers with HEPA filters

2. Open a window from the top , in the room the infected person is in every few hours so the heat pulls the aerosolized respiratory droplets outside. Heat rises. The virus can remain viable in the air for at least 2 hours.

A layered mitigation strategy can be used effectively to limit in-school transmission, & at home transmission.

It won't work as well if the strategy doesn't include sufficient ventilation,
quality N-95/KN-95 masks, air-purifiers, & upgraded HVAC filtration.
