Orange County Schools is proud to partner with the ABC Science Collaborative to keep abreast of the latest research on COVID-19 and how it is affecting public schools in North Carolina that are open, or partially open, for students and staff.

To date, we know that the COVID-19 is a respiratory disease, which is almost always spread through droplets of moisture from the nose and mouth of affected individuals. The moisture can be in the air and/or on certain surfaces.

According to the Collaborative:  Scientific evidence from operational schools in North Carolina shows that adherence to the 3Ws, especially mask compliance rates of 99.9%, greatly mitigate the spread of the COVID-19.
