Los Angeles County Health Director Barbara Ferrer said that she doesn’t expect schools to reopen until after November’s election.

“We don’t realistically anticipate that we would be moving to either tier 2 or to reopening K-12 schools at least until after the election, in early November,” Ferrer told education professionals and school nurses in a conference call. “When we just look at the timing of everything, it seems to us a more realistic approach to this would be to think that we’re going to be where we are now until we are done with the election.”
