Across the United States, school districts are grappling with questions of whether and how to reopen and keep open elementary and secondary schools in the 2020-21 academic year. Using household data from before the pandemic (2014-17), we examined how often people who have health conditions placing them at risk for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were connected to schools, either as employees or by living in the same households as school employees or school-age children. Between 42.0 percent and 51.4 percent of all school employees met the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) definition of having or potentially having increased risk for severe COVID-19. Among all adults with CDC-defined risk factors for severe COVID-19, between 33.9 million and 44.2 million had direct or within-household connections to schools.
在美国，学区正在努力解决是否以及如何在 2020-21 学年重新开放和保持小学和中学开放的问题。利用大流行前（2014-17 年）的家庭数据，我们研究了患有使他们面临严重 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）风险的健康状况的人作为员工或与学校员工或学龄儿童居住在同一家庭的情况下与学校联系的频率。所有学校员工中有 42.0%至 51.4%符合疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的严重 COVID-19 风险增加或具有潜在风险的定义。在所有患有 CDC 定义的严重 COVID-19 风险因素的成年人中，有 3390 万至 4420 万人与学校有直接或家庭内的联系。
