The CDC, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has revised the guidelines so that students only need to keep a distance of about 91 cm from school to school.

Until now, it was about 183cm, but it was cut in half.

If you cannot wear a mask because of food, you should maintain a distance of about 183 cm, CDC said.

It was also recommended to group teachers and students into different groups whenever possible, and to keep a distance of about 183 cm between the two groups throughout the day.

Middle and high schools in communities where there is a lot of COVID-19 infection recommended that students should be about 183 cm apart if it is impossible to group into such a group.

It was recommended to stay about 183cm apart from each other even when in public places such as the lobby or auditorium, or during activities such as singing, performing music, and sports training.

On school buses, it is recommended that only one student per row be seated and the window is opened, skipping row by row.

For adults, such as teachers and staff, it is advisable to keep a distance of about 183cm from other adults and children.
