Cobb schools and COVID precautions

The Cobb County School District has come under criticism from many of the parents in the district for its refusal to follow CDC recommendations on protecting its students from COVID-19.

Rise in number of COVID cases among children

In a message to the Cobb community yesterday, Dr. Janet Memark, District Health Director for Cobb & Douglas Public Health expressed alarm at the increase in the number of children infected with the virus.

“In children 5-17 years-old, there has been a 60% increase in cases since last week, and we have seen numbers double for children aged 11-17,” she wrote. “The number of cases and outbreaks reported in schools is also very high.”
