Good evening. As the SSD returns to hybrid in-person learning this week, our safety protocols continue to be our main line of defense in keeping transmission of COVID-19 down in our schools. DHHS & Maine CDC continue to see evidence indicating lower transmission of COVID-19 in schools compared to the general population. Over the last 30 days, the rate of new cases is 27 per 10,000 staff and students, compared to 113 per 10,000 people statewide. This rate of new cases in schools is 24% of the statewide rate for the general population. Please continue to follow our safety protocols: physical distancing, hand hygiene, symptom screening, staying home when sick, and face coverings / mask wearing; it’s working!
