EL DORADO COUNTY, Calif. As more schools prepare to return to in-person learning, representatives for some districts that have already blazed the trail are sharing how reopening has gone for them.
Placer County and El Dorado County have both returned to in-person learning, at least in a hybrid model, since fall 2020. Superintendents in both counties told ABC10, despite the initial trepidation things have gone overwhelmingly smooth.
The Nevada County Public School system has had a lot of success in its return, according to Superintendent Scott Lay, with 8 of 9 districts now back in-person.
Orange County is counting on its community partners to vaccinate Latino seniors most vulnerable to COVID-19 and address immunization disparities.
Of the 40 deaths reported Tuesday, two were skilled nursing facility residents and five were assisted living facility residents, raising those totals to 902 and 406, respectively.
The death reports are staggered because they come from a variety of sources and are not always logged immediately.
The death toll for January now stands at 1,040, surpassing the previous record for December, with 859 deaths logged for that month. That means that 52% of the county s death toll since the first fatality on March 19, 2020, occurred during those two months.
