What can teachers do to protect themselves and their students?
section_content: Teachers and students are in close contact for much of the day, and schools
can become a place where respiratory diseases like COVID-19 can quickly
spread. Protect yourself and your students by practicing and promoting
healthy habits during the school year. You should also plan to say home
if you have symptoms of COVID-19 like fever, cough, or shortness of breath.
Encourage parents to keep students at home if they’re sick. Consider social
distancing strategies, such as modifying classes where students are likely to
be in very close contact; increasing space between desks; and allowing
students to eat meals in the classroom.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The answer is a good answer to the question, but a good part of it talks about what to do if you are sick, rather than how to prevent getting sick. There are some details and specifics about prevention, but it is intermixed with information that doesn't answer the question.
These are just vague pieces of advice, while related to the question, are not concrete ways to help schools keep safe.
