“New York public schools should plan as if they are reopening in September”

.. said Governor Andrew Cuomo last Thursday during a press conference. But it would be too early to know for sure whether that will happen or not. Reopening New York public schools is complicated by the discovery of a possible new Covid-19 complication in kids, called multisystem inflammatory syndrome, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said could be caused by the coronavirus. The state will issue guidelines to schools at the beginning of June detailing what they would need to do to reopen. “Those plans will be approved in July all in preparation for an opening in September,” Cuomo said at a news briefing. “But we don’t want to make that decision until we have more facts.”
