San Francisco: California will be the first country in this country to ask all teachers and school staff to vaccinate or undergo Covid-19 weekly testing.
The state vaccine mandate for K-12 educators comes as a school back from a summer vacation amid increasing concerns from a very contagious Delta variant.
Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom announced a new policy Wednesday when he visited the San Francisco Bay Area School which had been reopened after a summer vacation.
Many California schools returned in sessions, with other people starting in the coming weeks.
Some major school districts in the state have issued similar requirements in the past few days, including San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose and a long coastal school district.
