Eighty-seven doctors have signed a letter urging Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey to keep schools shut for at least the first quarter of the academic year, saying in-person schooling would be 'dangerous given the uncontrolled spread of Covid-19 in our community.'
"Many of us are also parents of school-age children," the letter says."The tremendous pressure to return to in-person schooling in August is ill advised and dangerous given the uncontrolled spread of Covid-19 in our community."The letter comes in response to an order issued by the governor last month which limits the amount of funding for schools who don't open for in-person instruction for at least five days a week.
3 Arizona teachers caught coronavirus but only 2 survived. This is what they want you to know"Schools are breeding grounds. You're touching everything and it's just not possible to disinfect everything. Every desk, every sink, every toilet after someone uses it," she told the affiliate. She's one of hundreds of educators across the country who have expressed concern in the past weeks about having to return to school next month.
