“The analysis found people hospitalized with coronavirus-like symptoms were five times more likely to test positive for COVID-19 if they had a recent prior infection than if they were recently vaccinated.”

Carter, Greene and Unicoi Counties are among those with the highest level of spread on the chart, more than 750 new cases per 100-thousand people in one week. Northeast...

This is a 2.8% increase from the previous 7-day period and 1,117.9% higher than the lowest average observed in June 2021.

Parents are facing hard decisions right now about in-person schooling. They may not know, for instance, that HEPA filtration units help reduce COVID-19 spread in the classroom or that the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security has released detailed recommendations for improving air in schools.

Ask your child's school today what they have done to improve air quality and lower risk. If your child's school is not able to meet updated COVID-19 air filtration guidance (including MERV-13 filters and 6 air changes per hour), urge them to add individual HEPA filtration units to their classrooms. Schools can use their American Rescue Plan funds to help cover these costs.
