Fox News
Chicago public health commissioner Allison Arwady expressed her disappointment with the decision by the Chicago Teachers Union to not return to in-person learning.
"I’m disappointed that this is where we are. I know we are in the middle of a big COVID surge. It’s important that we do the things that we know work, but what we’ve seen over and over again is that with the appropriate protocols in place, schools are not major sources of transmission of COVID," Arwady told host Don Lemon.
"They don’t drive outbreaks, and we’ve seen Chicago public schools, just like our non-public schools in Chicago, do a good job of implementing those [protocols]. So we know people are worried, we just want to get back," she added.
