Please support our open letter to Dr. Ashish Jha, White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator and Dr. Rochelle Walensky, Director, CDC, asking for a paradigm shift in our nation’s response to Covid-19 and children.
The CDC’s current school COVID-19 guidelines are out-of-step with where we are in the trajectory from pandemic to endemic disease. The emergency phase of COVID-19 is over. We call upon the CDC to update current guidelines to reflect the era of endemic management in which infections are treated similarly to other seasonal respiratory viruses, which do not require routine testing or isolation. The U.S. must join its peer countries in recognizing the importance of restoring equitable and maximal access to education, sports, and social connectedness for all children. It is time to honor young people’s diverse health needs and update the CDC’s guidelines accordingly. Our children’s health and well-being depend on it.
