New York City schools have a positive Covid-19 test rate of less than 1% as middle schools reopen to students for in-person instruction.
About 60,000 students are eligible to return to classes two or three days a week in a hybrid schedule of at-home and in-school lessons. About 70% of the city’s middle school students chose all-remote instruction earlier and will continue to learn at home.
