New at six -- a huntsville pediatrician says schools and parents have to enforce the wearing of masks and social distancing if we're to have any chance of stopping outbreaks of coronavirus in classrooms. waay 31's max co-han joins us live to tell us what else the doctor had to say about the return to school.
Dr. kevin ellis told me there's definitely a risk associated with sending kids to school and no one is expecting this to help cases go down.
"really, i can't emphasize it enough to wear a mask, i know that the students haven't seen each other since march, but do not share things, do not be in each others faces."
Dr. kevin ellis says education needs to start at home.
He says parents need to prepare their children-- making sure they know the importance of masking, distancing and sanitizing.
Alabama's mask order that's in effect through august 31st requires students from second grade through college to wear masks quote 'whenever ellis says he believes most people agree that number must fall between one and ten percent.
But says one percent could be only a handful of kids and 10 is already an outbreak.
