"When you look at a number like 20,000 students that are on quarantine in any given week, that exceeds what we've experienced ... when we were at our previous peak for the impact on the schools," he said.
"This will translate to potentially more hospitalizations of children under the age of 18. And unfortunately, we may see additional deaths," he said.
