Most U.S. states and jurisdictions are experiencing substantial or high levels of community transmission fueled by the spread of the highly contagious B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant. COVID- 19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths continue to increase, es- pecially in communities with lower vaccination coverage like McLennan County. In the past 7 days, we have seen a 46%, 85%, and 350& increase in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and fatalities in McLennan County. While the number of people getting vaccinated also continues to increase, many people re- main unsure about getting vaccinated, and others do not plan to do so. On July 27, 2021, CDC announced updated Guidance for COVID- 19 Prevention Strategies based on emerging evidence of the B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant. CDC recommends that all people, re- gardless of vaccination status, wear masks in public indoor settings in areas of substantial or high transmission. A new CDC study supports previous findings that B.1.617.2 (Delta) is highly contagious, and is contributing to an in- crease in cases, including those with severe outcomes and those due to vaccine breakthrough infections.

Pediatric cases and hospitalizations have also increased in recent weeks. Rates of COVID-19-associated hospitalizations are lower in children of all ages compared to adults, but some children develop acute COVID-19 requiring hospitalization.1 In addition, some chil- dren who have had COVID-19 may later develop Multisystem Inflammato- ry Syndrome in Children (MIS-C), a rare but serious condition associated with COVID-19. Because children can be affected by COVID-19 and severe complications can occur, schools are encouraged to implement CDC’s updated Guidance for COVID-19 Prevention in K – 12 Schools to keep children safe. CDC’s updated guidance recommends that schools implement layered prevention strate- gies, including universal masking by all students ages 2 years and older, staff, teachers, and visitors, regardless of vaccination status. It is also recommended that all eligible students, parents, teachers, and staff get vaccinated as soon as possible. Vaccination among eligible populations is critical to stopping the spread of COVID- 19, especially to children under the age of 12 who are not yet eligible for vaccination.
