![a woman posing for a picture: With more than two weeks until Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools' scheduled return to in-person instruction, Mecklenburg County’s health director said Tuesday metrics in the community are high but moving in the right direction.
"We want to do everything we can to support the schools being able to open back up again but we want them to open up safely," Gibbie Harris said.
CMS continues to be in the red for its COVID metrics database, which leaders use to decide when to open or close school classrooms. There were 37 new cases in CMS students last week, and 73 new cases in staff, according to the data.

It also found that if schools are open, communities should have other policies in place like restricting in-person dining at restaurants.
