For many Bay Area school districts, spring break starts on Monday and, to better manage the spread of COVID, schools distributed rapid tests for students to take home before their break.
“I’m going to Central California for five days,” said Spencer Berg, a junior at Las Lomas High School.After two pandemic years and travel restrictions, some families and students plan to make up for lost time.
But the fear for health experts is they’ll pick up the new, even more contagious Omicron subvariant known as BA. 2. Dr. Chin-Hong said that, while 10 states outside of California were seeing cases go up, the Bay Area case counts remained low. That is expected to change as health officials believe the local numbers will increase.
That’s why California schools have been handing out 14 million rapid COVID tests to students and staff. It’s not mandatory but Bay Area schools are encouraging people to use them.
