An unvaccinated elementary school teacher who took off their mask to read to students ended up infecting more than half of them last May -- and they went on to infect other students, family members and community members, California public health officials reported Friday.
In the classroom of 22 students, 12 became infected -- including eight out of 10 students in the two front rows.Newsletter sign-up: Get The COVID-19 Brief sent to your inbox The CDC highlighted the case as an example of how schools need to follow all recommendations if they want to protect students and staff.
Dr. Lisa Santora, deputy health officer for the county, said officials there had been urging teachers to be vaccinated since January, but many had not done it. "We saw firsthand that it wasn't kids who were going to get teachers sick. It was going to be the reverse," Santora told CNN. The outbreak at the elementary school was a heads up to the county that the Delta variant was going to make it harder to prevent outbreaks, she said.
The county was able to conduct an intensive contact tracing operation that painted a good picture of what happened. Several children appeared to have been infected during a sleepover, and some from the infected teacher's class appear to have infected siblings.

Yeah right... 'unclean!'
Ok, you dont trust vaccs. You might have your point. What's wrong with wearing a mask?
Yet again, selfish behaviour affecting innocent people!! The teach should be fired ! GetVaccinatedNow WearYourMask
I fact-checked this and it's b******* I think you're trying to mislead people. So, masks DON'T WORK.
Isn't that attempted murder?
fordnation Sflecce times up! Other public and private institutions have paved the way this past week. ETFOeducators OECTAProv LDCSB your teachers need to protect the students who are vaccine ineligible. Mandate the vaccine for teachers and staff.
This is so ridiculous. The teacher went to school while symptomatic. Her vaccine status wouldn’t have changed that whatsoever. If she was vaccinated and had symptoms she also could have passed it on just as easily…but that wouldn’t make the news…
That’s not even Canada? And what the death toll on the sick child that will be find in a couple of days?
The reasons why many Americans refuse to wear masks
It's propaganda, they want you to demand/force that the teachers get vaccinated, even against their will. It's a Satanic plot. Don't fall for it.
Tell me again why we don’t need mask mandates?
