After bicycling to work, the Democrat said his message to parents is to “fear not” as students prepare to return to classrooms Monday after the holiday break.
“I say to them, fear not sending them back,” Adams told ABC “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos. “The stats are clear. The safest place for children is inside a school.
“We’re going to identify the children that are exposed,” Adams continued. “We’re going to remove them from that environment, and the numbers show the mere fact that a child is exposed in a classroom does not mean that entire classroom is exposed.”
