In northeast Florida,to release coronavirus data tied to schools.
Flagler Health Department spokesperson Gretchen Smith declined to comment on the report it had been blocked from releasing information on new cases. Smith said she was contacted by Department of Health attorneys afterits report on Friday and was instructed not to speak on the subject.Schools in Florida are using a variety of ways to share information about local Covid-19 cases and contract tracing, sending message blasts and mass calls to parents.

How is this governor not in jail. Everything he has done has put his entire state in jeopardy and so many lives lost.. over what? Brown nosing a racist.
Good
Bravo!
If masks are strictly being worn, maybe the spreading is happening in the lunchrooms where masks are removed. If that’s the case, divide the students in half & rotate them on half day schedules. That way, most don’t eat at school, leaving the ones who do a safer environment.
Good.
