Exact quote

CDPH Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady said COVID-19 data in young people show that Chicago students who have returned to their classrooms in parochial and private schools actually have lower rates of the virus detected than their counterparts in the community.

To be blunt I think that CDPH Commissioner is giving political data and not health data. On the other hand my doubt is based on generality rather than facts. I do know that the parochial elementary school near me has the kids running loose during recess and that masks are only visible when the parents pick the kid up in the afternoon.

Now Chicago Public School District does have data but the teachers' union says requests to see the data have been denied. https://twitter.com/CTULocal1/status/1316886697020321792?s=20
