Illinois schools are not COVID-19 superspreaders, data shows – Chicago Sun-Times*

“Schools themselves and the activities associated with schools are not the source of transmission,” said Dr. Susan Bleasdale, medical director of infection prevention and control at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
