In-person learning may be returning to Los Angeles schools today, but that doesn’t mean COVID-19 is no longer a problem in the nation’s second-largest district.
CNN’s Cheri Mossburg reported that based on current data, more than 62,000 Los Angeles students and staff have recently tested positive for the coronavirus.
Mossburg reported that the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) had recently passed a policy requiring all students and employees to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test before being allowed to return to school grounds in the new year. So far, of the 640,000 students enrolled in grades K-12 in the district, 414,000 test results have been logged — with 14.99% of those tests coming back positive.
