儿科医生小组更新了如何安全开学的指导意见

The American Academy of Pediatrics on Wednesday released expanded guidance for reopening schools that "strongly advocates for additional federal assistance to schools" whether classes are in person or virtual.

美国儿科学会周三发布了重新开学的扩大指导意见，“强烈主张对学校提供额外的联邦援助”，无论面授课堂还是网络课堂。

The expanded guidance comes as the debate over if and how to reopen schools in the pandemic -- and in some cases, whether to close them back down again -- continues across the country.

扩大的指导意见出台之际，美国各地仍在就是否以及如何在疫情中让学校重新开学、在某些情况下是否再次关闭学校展开辩论。

In a statement about the update, the AAP noted that, in places with high levels of coronavirus infections, schools will need additional federal help to support remote learning, pointing to a Pew Research Center study that found one in five teens are not able to complete schoolwork at home due to a lack of a computer or internet connection.

在一份更新的声明中，美国儿科学会指出，在冠状病毒感染率高的地方，学校将需要额外的联邦帮助来支持远程学习，皮尤研究中心的一项研究发现，五分之一的青少年由于缺乏电脑或不能联网而无法在家完成学业。

"This technological 'homework gap' disproportionately affects low-income families," the group, which represents pediatricians, said.

这个代表儿科医生的组织说:“这种技术上的‘家庭作业差距’对低收入家庭的影响尤为严重。”

"The persistent racial and social inequities in our educational system, including disparities in funding, quality of school buildings, and resources for curriculum and teachers have only been exacerbated by the pandemic," said AAP President Dr. Sally Goza.

美国儿科学会的主席萨利·高扎博士说:“我们教育系统中持续存在的种族和社会不平等，包括资金、校舍质量、课程和教师资源等方面的不平等，只会因疫情而加剧。”

"Without more resources, these disparities will worsen. Whatever school looks like this fall, we must be innovative and promote the well-being of all children, particularly children living in marginalized communities."

“如果没有更多的资源，这些差距将会恶化。无论今年秋天学校是什么样子，我们都必须创新，促进所有儿童的福祉，尤其是生活在边缘社区的儿童。”

The expanded guidance also includes recommendations encouraging cloth face coverings.

扩大的指导意见还包括建议鼓励使用口罩。
