Rising COVID-19 cases prompt proactive measures in school districts

School districts in San Diego County are taking a proactive approach to address the uptick in COVID-19 cases on campuses. The Chula Vista Elementary School District is encouraging testing, handwashing, and transparency to mitigate the spread of the virus. The San Diego Unified School District has seen about 150 more positive cases compared to the same period last year, and they continue to provide home test kits and offer masks to those who want them. Mental health services are also being provided to support students dealing with COVID-related stressors.
