As cases continue to decrease, we need reasonable off-ramps to return kids to normalcy. I support ending #LAUSD’s outdoor masking requirement as a next step. ​​ https://t.co/HACYoQMtNK

The next step for schools is under discussion as indoor masking set to ease on Feb. 15 in many settings in California.

The data released by the county last week show that safety protocols in Los Angeles schools are working, and very few kids, only .2%, who were quarantined as close contacts during the first month of school actually contracted COVID.
“Los Angeles Unified needs to adopt the county’s new modified quarantine rules immediately,” said Katie Braude, founder and chief executive of Speak Up. “The lives of parents and kids have been disrupted enough.” @laschools

This equates to ~220,000 missed school days in just four weeks in LA county alone... and none of it was necessary.
“Among the almost 30,000 people quarantined, 63 tested positive; this amounts to an overall secondary attack rate of 0.2%.” Not only should this be its own headline, but that is half of LA county’s 0.4% case rate. https://t.co/vrS1rMt2rr
