California is extending its indoor mask mandate into February to help prevent a dramatic spike in coronavirus cases from overwhelming hospitals. The state's confirmed cases have shot up nearly 500% in the last two weeks and hospitalizations have doubled.
As the number of COVID-19 cases surges in California, Gov. Gavin Newsom and state officials are facing criticism for failing to deliver on a promise to provide rapid, at-home tests to all California students and school staff before classrooms reopened after the winter break.
It remained unclear when the tests delivered most recently to county offices would reach school districts and then be distributed to cover all of California’s 6 million K-12 public school students and the teachers and staff at California’s 10,000 schools. In an editorial published Tuesday, the Los Angeles Times asked: Where are all the COVID-19 tests that Newsom promised for K-12 schools?
The Oakland Unified School District said Tuesday that more than 900 students and staff tested positive before the start of school Monday and were staying at home.
