Over 1,000 Quarantining in Texas School District Fighting Gov. Greg Abbott on Masks

More than 1,000 students and staff in a Texas school district are currently isolating after either testing positive for COVID or being exposed to a faculty member or child who has amid the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant in the state.

The Fort Worth Independent School District (ISD) in Texas told Fox 4 on Friday that 908 students in the area are currently in quarantine, while 185 staff members were also being forced to isolate.

Despite the high number of children quarantining in the state after just the first week of students returning after a summer break, all of the schools in the district remain open, just like they did during the entirety of the last academic year.
