ATLANTA (AP) – The governor of Georgia said Monday that the reopening of some public schools amid the coronavirus outbreak has good results, with the exception of photographs of overcrowded academics without masks that have been widely shared.
Look at the summary in the reader above.
“Honestly, this week went very well, apart from some virtual photos,” Gov. Brian Kemp said at a news convention with Surgeon General Jerome Adams.
Viral images showed students’ appearance-to-look status in the crowded hallways of North Paulding High School northwest of Atlanta and grouped together in combination for first-day school photos at two of the best schools in neighboring Cherokee County. None of the scholars were dressed in masks.
North Paulding officials later announced that six academics and three staff members had tested positive for coronavirus, and that the school would be closed Monday and Tuesday while construction was being disinfected.
Cherokee County officials reported that 12 academics and two out of a dozen schools tested positive for the virus in their first week of return. As a result, they said, more than 250 potentially exposed academics had been quarantined home for two weeks.
Coronavirus hospitalizations have decreased by about 10% since peaking at the end of July, according to figures from the Georgia Ministry of Public Health.
Kemp cited the downward trend at a press convention Monday to provide a new coronavirus test that was recently opened near Atlanta Airport.
“As I said before, we’ve come a long way, but we’re not out of danger yet and we can’t avoid gas,” Kemp said.
Both Kemp and the Surgeon General noted that Georgia may be waiting to see new cases reported as schools and businesses reopen.
“I need the other Georgians to know that we don’t have to wait to get vaccinated,” Adams said. “We don’t have to hide until we get miraculous treatment.
But he also warned that academics adhere to the recommendation of fitness officers, adding social estrangement and dressed in masks.
“To the young people in the schools, I want you to understand: if you want a ball in the user next year, if you want to move on to spring break, if you want to start at the user, then we want them to paint together.” he told me.
Adams also asked primary league sports groups to convince young people to wear masks.
“We want the Atlanta Falcons, we want the Atlanta Hawks, we want all the influencers those teens turn to to advertise the mask costume, to have a mask with cool patterns, which is a fun, fun and fun place. . Something exciting to do, ” he says. “And if we do that, we’ll see a lot more young men dressed in masks than wearing masks.”
Georgia has recorded more than 1,000 deaths in more than 3 weeks and is about to achieve 10,000 COVID-19 deaths by the end of the year.
