A Record 21,683 COVID Cases on Same Day Florida Bans K-12 Mask Rules

Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis sealed an executive sequence banning facade mandates in K-12 schools a same day a record series of daily COVID-19 cases were reported in a state. On Friday, Jul 30, 2021, a governor’s gauge orders a state’s health dialect to emanate puncture facade rules.

“Effective immediately,” decisions over either students wear masks in a classroom will be done by relatives instead of propagandize officials — even unvaccinated individuals. DeSantis’s sequence enclosed a hazard of losing appropriation if a schools did not comply.

While a administrator explains this is a fairest approach to hoop a problem, some competence doubt a preference to anathema facade mandates for children and staff in classrooms where a common cold fast spreads from one chairman to another. This is generally concerning after 21,683 new COVID cases were reported on Friday within a state — primarily Delta various infections.

As a rarely foul COVID-19 various sweeps by a United States, infecting whatever horde is susceptible, medical officials in states with low vaccination rates are overwhelmed. As a result, their ICUs are filled up, they have had to giveaway COVID wings, and their puncture bedrooms no longer have beds for illnesses or injuries, according to dozens of nurses pleading for people to take a shot.

But children underneath 12 can't be vaccinated opposite COVID-19, and distinct a origin, a Delta various does not distinguish opposite any age.  On Friday, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital in Miami-Dade County reported an boost in children certified to a trickery with COVID.

The hospital’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Marcos Mestre, pronounced of a 17 hospitalized children who are certain for a virus, 6 are in a ICU, and one is on a ventilator.

Another children’s hospital, Holtz in Miami, is also saying some-more children with COVID-19 infections. Dr. Barry Gelman says they now have 5 pediatric cases — dual in a ICU. In addition, Gelman, a hospital’s CMO, reports some-more kids of all ages, from tot to adolescent, are contrast positive. He explained:

Our positivity rate in a Holtz puncture dialect in a month of Jun was 2.4 percent. And by a of July, we are during 14 percent, so a pathogen is present some-more and kids are removing infected.

Jackson Health System released a COVID-19 refurbish that went into outcome on Jul 21, tying visitors during their hospitals to keep patients, guests, and medical workers safe.

The American Academy of Pediatrics updated a superintendence on protected schools on Jul 18 encourages children’s in-person attendance. In addition, given a vast apportionment of students is not COVID-19 vaccine eligible, all kids over 2, teachers, and staff should wear masks while indoors during school.

Nonetheless, Gov. DeSantis’ press recover announcing a sequence said:

The sovereign supervision has no right to tell relatives that in sequence for their kids to attend propagandize in person, they contingency be forced to wear a facade all day, each day.

Health officials strongly suggest everybody 12 and comparison should be vaccinated opposite COVID-19. They are giveaway for everybody regardless of word or immigration status. Moreover, HIPPA protects patients’ medical records, and state-based health dialect COVID-19 vaccine databases use codes rather than names, serve assuring privacy.
