One of three Arizona teachers who were sharing a classroom to conduct online classes caught the novel coronavirus and died. Now her two colleagues are saying it's too early to reopen schools, CNN reported.

Jena Martinez, Angela Skillings, and Kimberley Chavez Lopez Byrd were sharing a classroom in Arizona for two hours a day so they could online teach — and all had COVID-19 despite wearing masks, using gloves and hand sanitizer, and physically distancing. Byrd, 61, passed away from COVID-19 complications at the end of June.

"We followed everything we were supposed to do," Martinez told CNN's Don Lemon. "While we were there, we did distance ourselves."

(Looks like Arizona won't be opening schools anytime soon)

On the other hand: School District of Philadelphia planning split schedules, virtual learning this fall.

Also many Chicago-area schools are offering families a choice to allow students to return to in-person learning part-time, or stay fully remote through the fall term.

Anyone know of any other states re-opening schools with teachers and students together in classrooms?
