Meanwhile, this article about Georgia schools is on Washington Post which just had the article about tested kids going to summer camp in Georgia … and getting COVID-infected.
“Teachers returned to a Georgia school district last week. 260 employees have already gone home to quarantine.”
This was the result of tests when the employees reported for work, so in most cases it wasn’t (yet) at school where they were infected.
In the accompanying photo, both the school bus driver and the 7 year old getting on it are wearing facemasks.
