(5,935 posts)The department emphasized that vaccinations "are our best defense to protect children" and said that most pediatric cases of COVID in the city came from unvaccinated adults in a household getting the virus and spreading it to unvaccinated children.
An outbreak, the department said, means there are "three or more cases in non-related households in which the source of infection occurred at the school, and not another setting."
While the department reported there have been 227 COVID-19 cases out of 52,000 students and nearly 10,000 staff the "vast majority" of those cases are occurring outside of schools.
Overall, the department said, the numbers of pediatric COVID-19 cases in the city have remained low throughout the pandemic, even during the most recent delta variant surge.

Way to go San Francisco!!!

Compare governors.
And how ironic that the one doing the job is up for a recall.

God I hate shallow-as-a-dirty-puddle Governor Lee. He's just loving spreading Covid to all the children.
