In preparation for students and staff to return from winter break, schools across Fort Worth ISD were deep cleaned Tuesday amid a surge in COVID-19 cases.
Students and staff will return on Wednesday amid a rise in COVID-19 cases across the county. According to a report Tuesday from Tarrant County Public Health, the county’s positivity rate is now 35%, meaning more than 1 in every 3 people tested for COVID-19 are confirmed positive, TCPH Director Vinny Taneja said Tuesday.
Taneja also noted, the county’s ‘R-0’ number which measures new infections that result from a single case of a virus, is at a pandemic high of 1.62. “You know how kiddos, they will remove their mask. They will lose them, or they will tear them. So, we want to make sure there is plenty of PPE masks, hand sanitizers available for all students,” she said.
