According to a US media report on August 13, local time, two days after the school opened in Florida, 440 students in Palm Beach County were quarantined due to the new crown pneumonia epidemic. According to data from the health department, as of now, there are 134 confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in the school district, of which 26 are faculty and staff and 108 are students.
According to the data, as of the 12th, among the 167,000 students in the school district, 6,394 students (about 3.8%) chose not to wear masks. Last month, Florida Governor DeSantis issued an emergency order giving parents of students the final decision on whether their children wear masks. He said at a press conference: “We need them to breathe.”
According to the Florida report, in the week from July 30 to August 5, there were a total of 134,506 new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia and 175 new deaths in the state. The positive detection rate was 18.9%. Among the confirmed cases, more than 27,000 people are 19 years and younger. (CCTV reporter Xu Tao)
