Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey on Thursday defended new guidelines that would allow public schools to potentially stay open even if there is “substantial spread” of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.

Last week, the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) quietly revised a document that public schools have been using as guidance on when they should consider ending in-person instruction and returning to virtual learning. It now says students should switch to virtual learning only when three public health benchmarks are all in the “substantial spread” or red category for two weeks.
