California governor Gavin Newsom has announced that all schools across the state will be closed for the remainder of the year amidst the Coronavirus crisis that has affected thousands of Americans.
Newsom said that parents and teachers should operate “with the expectation now that schools will not reopen, but classes are in” for the remainder of the school year.
“To all of the moms, all the teachers, all the caregivers, I know how stressful this is, trust me,” Newsom added. “I know what we’re asking of you over the course of the next few months.”

According to ABC7, the governor confirmed that there are 8,155 positive cases of coronavirus in California with 774 of those patients currently in ICU beds.
“The schools were just canceled out here in California, which is way overkill,” Devin Nunes said on Fox News. “It’s possible kids could have gone back to school in two weeks to four weeks, but they just canceled the rest of the schools.” https://t.co/remTjALYpI
