Dr. David Damsker On Social Distancing In Schools
Dr. David Damsker, Director of the Bucks County Health Department, returns to the Dom Giordano Program to discuss the new trend by school districts to only require three feet of social distancing in schools, instead of the prior suggestion of six feet.

Also, Damsker explains how Bucks County schools have performed through the pandemic, with most schools reopening in September, and notes that students have been fully safe, telling that there have been no student cases in the county.
