Despite thousands of U.S. schools, including in some major cities, delaying this week’s scheduled return to classrooms and switching to remote learning amid rising COVID-19 cases, officials in New York are vowing to keep schools open.
“We are going to keep our schools open and ensure that our children are safe in a safe environment,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who took office over the weekend, told reporters after visiting an elementary school in the Bronx on Monday.
