Keeping children, the people least at risk and least likely to transmit the virus, masked is cruel and unscientific,' Kira Davis, a California mother who is running for school board in nearby Orange County, told. As the world moves on from COVID panic, California is moving backwards.
'The news that mask mandates are returning in LA and San Diego is extremely distressing. The news has left many parents worrying that their children may once again have to wear masks in schools when the educational year restarts this August. Students and staff will be required to wear their masks while indoors only.' 'If they do not have one, masks will be provided. 'If your student is participating in summer school or other summer enrichment program, please send them to school or their program with a mask,' officials wrote. The shots, which are the second booster after the original two-dose regimen of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, were made available earlier this year in an effort to shore up protection for the most vulnerable to the virus. He noted that people over the age of 50 - who suffer the most risk from the virus - should receive their fourth vaccine dose if they have not already. 'This is an area of concern but we know how to manage this.' 'The good news here is our tools, our vaccines if you are up to date, if you've been vaccinated recently… if you get treatments, those continue to work really well,' Dr Ashish Jha, the White House's COVID-19 response coordinator told ABC's This Week last weekend. While is has caused cases to rise in recent weeks, experts are not panicking yet and believe the introduction of more Covid jabs could be what is needed to stop the spread.

It is also immune-evasive and can get around protections a person may have from previous Covid infection. The BA.5 variant is feared to be the most transmissible version of the virus to take hold in the U.S.
