Over the weekend, parents of students at two Vermont school districts were notified about positive cases of COVID-19.

It's been one week since K-12 schools reopened in Vermont and already some are reporting positive cases of COVID-19. This hour on our weekly health update, we talk with a pediatric infectious disease specialist at the University of Vermont, as well as the deputy health commissioner of the Vermont Department of Health.

Our guests are:

  • Dr. Benjamin Lee, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at the University of Vermont Children’s Hospital
  • Tracy Dolan, deputy commissioner for the Vermont Department of Health
