Social Vulnerability Linked to Higher COVID-19 Rates in U.S. School Districts

A study has found that school districts with higher levels of social vulnerability are experiencing higher rates of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. The research suggests that factors such as poverty, lack of access to healthcare, and crowded living conditions contribute to the increased spread of the virus in these communities. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support in order to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on vulnerable school districts.
