REMINDER: CA, you are now REQUIRED to wear a mask in public spaces.
We’re seeing too many people with faces uncovered. Wearing a face covering is critical for keeping people safe and healthy, keeping businesses open and getting people back to work.
Do your part. Wear your mask.
Today’s school agreement provides solutions to reopen schools safely, get kids back in classrooms, and prioritize vaccines for teachers. Schools are vital to our communities and families – this is a major step forward toward reopening their doors. https://t.co/VA8Mlzi3Pxhttps://t.co/od7nruQpHa
We need to get our kids back in the classroom.
CA is providing $6.6 billion to reopen our schools safely:
- Schools in counties in the purple tier should open grades K-2 by April 1.
- Schools in the red tier should open all elementary grades by April 1.
