In accordance with Univision The teachers union wants, in addition to vaccines, that counties where infection rates are or have been high, maintain distance education for at least 100 days.
However, the governor Gavin Newsom I would have already declared against this idea, assuring that it was impossible to wait for all educational personnel to be vaccinated before returning to the classroom.
