Colorado pediatricians, educators urging quarantines, masks next school year

Colorado pediatricians and educators have penned an open letter to Governor Jared Polis to encourage stronger mitigation measures next school year to ensure in-person instruction.

In the letter sent Monday, medical groups and teachers unions urged continued testing of COVID-19 and quarantines, enhanced ventilation and use of outdoor space, and mask usage for unvaccinated people (including children who are not yet eligible for vaccination).
