Gov. Newsom: Expect schools to stay closed through summer

With California’s death count from the novel coronavirus rising to 12 Tuesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom said parents should expect schools to be closed for the rest of the school year.

“Don’t anticipate schools are going to open in a week,” Newsom said during a Tuesday afternoon news conference. “Don’t anticipate schools are going to open in a few weeks. I would plan and assume that it’s unlikely that many of these schools, few, if any, will open before the summer break.”
