School reopening plan unveiled and 25 COVID-19 deaths reported.
BOSTON (AP) — Face masks and physical distancing are some of the changes Massachusetts students will find when they return to the classroom in September under a plan unveiled Thursday. State education officials say schools should be prepared for three different education models: in-person learning in classrooms; hybrid leaning combining in-person learning and remote learning; and only remote learning. Schools won’t be required to conduct temperature checks for students. Massachusetts recorded another 25 COVID-19-related deaths Thursday, bringing the total deaths since the pandemic’s beginning to 7,963. Massachusetts has surpassed a million initial claims filed for regular unemployment benefits since the start of the pandemic.
