UCI professor: It’s safe to reopen Santa Ana schools

“I think they’re ready to open the schools and hope they would,” said Dr. Dan Cooper, a UCI professor of pediatrics, who has worked with Orange County schools on COVID-19 issues throughout the pandemic. “Almost all of the data shows that schools can open safely if the schools follow all of the mitigation procedures,” Cooper said. “This is data coming in from all over the world.”
