To return to in-person learning, the students must test negative after the five-day quarantine and wear a mask for five more days in school.<\/p>\n<p>Democratic officials and teachers&#8217; unions have advocated throughout the pandemic for remote learning and in-school mask mandates.

Educational disparities were the worst for poor, black, and Latino students.<\/p>\n<p>The schools&#8217; contract tracing efforts come as U.S. officials on Wednesday warned of a rise in COVID cases nationwide, urging localities at heightened risk in the Northeast and Midwest <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/coronavirus\/deja-vu-all-over-again-cdc-wants-more-masking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">to mask indoors<\/a>.
