WATCH: What will schools look like when they reopen?

PBS, 15 Jul 2020
Amid a pandemic, what will reopened schools look like for students and staff? Dr. Leana Wen, an emergency physician and public health professor at George Washington University, talked about the ways things will be different, probably for a long time. She especially emphasized everyone “really should be wearing masks," especially more is coming out about how the virus is spread. While that is not possible for children of all ages, it is imperative that those who can wear masks, do.

Wen joined PBS NewsHour’s William Brangham to answer viewer questions on July 14 on what this school year could look like.
