BOSTON (AP) The number of COVID-19 infections in Massachusetts schools is growing but a school official insists that schools are “very safe.”
A report shows 801 new coronavirus cases among students and 244 among school staffers for the week that ended Wednesday. Combined, that s the largest number this academic year, and it comes just days before elementary schools return to full-time, in-person learning on Monday.
