With limited US federal leadership on closing and re-opening strategies to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic, cities and states were left to enact their own policies. This article examines two key sets of policies—in-person learning in public elementary schools and indoor dining—across 30 of the largest US cities in the summer, fall, and winter of 2020. We review indoor dining and in-person elementary education policy decisions between 1 May 2020 and 14 December 2020 across 30 US cities. We review the public health evidence, political power, and jurisdictional challenges that cities faced, and the policy implications of these factors. Overwhelmingly, indoor dining re-opened in cities while in-person elementary schools were kept closed; indoor dining re-opened in all cities in fall 2020, while only 40% of public elementary schools re-opened for in-person instruction. Looking ahead to fully bringing students back for in-person learning, and considering future potential community outbreaks, this retrospective analysis can help inform city and state governments on policy decisions around indoor dining and reopening/closing schools for in-person learning.

Soil contamination by soil-transmitted helminths (STH) on the schoolyard can act as reservoir STH infection for students. The STH contamination on soil due to contamination of human and animal waste which was disposed of inappropriately. This study aimed to determine the presence of STH eggs in the yard's soil of public elementary schools in Bandung city. This research was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional approach. This study's samples were 97 surface soil of the public elementary schoolyard in Bandung city, selected randomly. Microscopic identification is made for identifying the STH contamination on soil samples. STH contaminates about 66% yard's soil of public elementary schools in Bandung city. We identified larva nematode, Ascaris eggs, Trichuris eggs, Toxocara eggs, and Capillaria eggs. The most common STH we had found was larvae nematode (53%). There is a correlation between flood and human STH contamination on soil (p=0.015). We concluded that STH contaminates the yard's soil of the public elementary schools in Bandung city. The source of STH contamination is from human and animal waste. Flood has a role in spreading human waste on the soil. KONTAMINASI SOIL-TRANSMITTED HELMINTH PADA TANAH PEKARANGAN SEKOLAH DASAR NEGERI KOTA BANDUNGPencemaran tanah oleh soil-transmitted helminth (STH) di halaman sekolah dapat menjadi reservoir penularan STH bagi siswa.
