In NY we are still mandated to maintain the 6ft distancing. Some schools are overriding that and doing less than 6ft but with plexi barriers. My 5th grader eats in her classroom with plexi barrier on her desk and my 8th grader eats in the cafeteria, not 6ft, but plexi barrier between her and others. I personally would not feel comfortable with eating 3ft head to head (which is probably only 2ft between bodies) without a plexi divider between the diners. CDC still considers a close contact as someone closer than 6ft for greater than 15mins, so unless lunch is only 15mins, then this would be a close contact situation and I wouldn't be comfortable with that.

Gluten free since Nov '11 after non-celiac gluten sensitive diagnosis. Have had great improvement or total elimination of: migraines, bloating/distention, heartburn, cystic acne, canker sores, bleeding gums, eczema on elbows, dry skin and scalp, muscle cramps, PMS, hair loss, heart palpitations, fatigue. I'm amazed.
