A Look at DESE's Cited Sources: Footnote #33 - COVID-19: Prevention of infection spread

DESE Claim: "In addition to the WHO, several other countries including Denmark, France, China, and Hong Kong recommend one meter (approximately three feet) distance in schools."

Cited Source: Denmark National Board of Health, COVID-19: Prevention of infection spread. (2020, May 10). Available at https://www.sst.dk/da/Udgivelser/2020/COVID-19-Forebyggelse-af-smittespredning

Peer Reviewed?: No (government public health guidance)

Study Methodology: N/A (government document)

Notes: I used Google Translate on the page since I do not speak Danish. However, I could not translate the PDF document referenced. On this page on the English version of the site, there is mention of 1-2 meters of social distancing. 

Supports DESE Claim?: Yes, it seems Denmark recommends 1 meter distancing.
