Since March 2020, pediatricians, public health experts, and school health experts at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and the Bloomberg School of Public Health have been providing technical assistance to schools and school systems around the world.

What we’ve learned in this process is that educators are working tirelessly to apply principles of public health and infection control to schools; they have lots of questions. These modules are designed to be a resource schools and districts can use to answer practical questions about school re-opening. For schools and districts that are already open, the modules can help you to evaluate your current strategies.

  • How COVID-19 is transmitted in schools
  • How to implement public health mitigation strategies like face coverings, distancing, and cohorting
