California’s COVID positivity rate continues to climb.
OAKLAND, CA – JANUARY 27: Scarlett Arreola, 6, a first grader, at Oakland Academy of Knowledge waits to receive a Covid-19 vaccine dose at her school in Oakland, Calif., on Thursday, Jan. 27, 2022. It’s that time of year again: back to school. But this year kids are walking back into their classrooms in the middle of a big statewide COVID surge.
The percent of COVID tests that come back positive, known as the positivity rate, is one of the only timely metrics left to track the spread of the virus. California’s rate has yet to show signs of slowing, since it first starting growing in May. The positivity rate is now the highest it’s ever been in August, and approaching the all-time summer high of 16% in July 2022.
So how are schools handling back to school this year? In general, districts are not taking special precautions, though parents should be on the lookout for the contagious illnesses that come home with their children after sharing air with their classmates all day.
