Minister of Education puts pressure on school to reopen in autumn

　　At the same time, despite the criticism, the pace of the US government's push to reopen schools has not slowed down.

　　On the 12th local time, US Secretary of Education Devos continued to push the Trump administration to reopen the school. When asked whether the school should follow the guidelines of the US Centers for Disease Control, which Trump called "very strict and expensive," she said the guidelines were "flexible" and the school district should "appropriately use them."

　　According to reports, De Vos said, "Children must be in school, they need to learn." She said, "In places where there are few outbreaks or hot spots, you can deal with each school or case by case."

　　When asked if the school should resume distance learning in the event of a small outbreak, De Vos said the school should have a "plan".

　　De Vos also said, "If (the epidemic) breaks out for a few days in a short period of time, it will be different from planning for the entire academic year on the premise that something that has not happened is expected."

　　The CDC guidelines on school reopening include the following recommendations: if feasible, separate tables by 6 feet (about 1.8 meters), close public spaces such as playgrounds and restaurants, and in areas where it is difficult for individuals to maintain at least 6 feet Increase physical obstacles.
