COVID cases stop Southern California from reopening schools - Los Angeles Times

Governor Gavin Newsom (Gavin Newsom) made changes to the plan to reopen the school, including a small drop in the case rate, which allows elementary school students to participate in face-to-face classes on campus.

Under the new guidance, K-6 schools in counties and counties will be eligible to reopen with an average of 25 cases per 100,000 residents in 7 days or less, and the governor announced in December for every 100,000 residents. There are 28 cases.

This figure is significantly lower than the current interest rates in many California states, reducing the hope that schools (especially Southern California) will soon reopen.

For example, the adjusted COVID-19 case rate is 77 cases per 100,000 residents; Orange County, 79; Riverside County, 107; San Bernardino County, 103 and San Diego County, 70.

In December, Newsom announced
