\n Three Arizona summer-school teachers who followed the recommended safety protocols for the coronavirus while in the same classroom contracted the contagion \u2014 and one of them died, reports say.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just feels like a bad dream that I can\u2019t wake up from,\u201d said Jesse Byrd, the husband\u00a0 of beloved late first-grade instructor Kimberley Chavez Lopez Byrd, 61, to the Arizona Republic.<\/p>\n

His wife had previously retired, only to miss the classroom so much that she eventually returned to the job as a first-grade teacher in the Hayden-Winkelman Unified School District in Gila County.<\/p>\n

In June, Kimberley and two other teachers \u2014 Angela Skillings and Jena Martinez-Inzunza \u2014 got together in one classroom to conduct classes for a group of kindergartners and first- and second-graders, who watched the educators online as they performed fun nature-inspired experiments such as using Cheetos to demonstrate bee pollination.<\/p>\n

The women said they work masks and gloves, socially distanced and used hand sanitizer to keep themselves safe, CNN reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were very careful,\u201d Skillings told the Republic.<\/p>\n

Kimberley \u2014 who suffered from diabetes, lupus and asthma \u2014 was the first to test positive for the virus, and by June 26, fewer than two weeks after she became a confirmed case, she was dead.<\/p>\n

The two other teachers tested positive soon after Kimberley did and said they are still suffering from complications.<\/p>\n

Arizona is among a slew of US states suffering from a recent surge in the virus.<\/p>\n

The state reported 2,537 new cases of the contagion Sunday, for a current total of 122,467 \u2014 more than a third of which occurred just so far this month, according to statistics from Arizona\u2019s Health Department.<\/p>\n

There were another 86 deaths reported Sunday in Arizona, too, for a total of 2,237 fatalities. There were 69 deaths reported Saturday and 44 the day before. The highest daily death toll for the state was 177 fatalities Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Most schools in the state had a reopening date of early August, until Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey said last month that they would be delayed till at least Aug. 17. Last week, Ducey only added that in-school learning would start up again \u201cwhen it is safe,\u201d the Republic reported.<\/p>\n

State schools chief Kathy Hoffman wrote on Facebook on July 9, \u201cToday, over 2,000 Arizonans have died from #COVID19. Among those is tragically Kimberley Chavez Lopez Byrd, a first-grade teacher in the Hayden-Winkelman Unified School District.<\/p>\n

\u201cTeachers\u2019 dedication to serving students should not come at high risk. Arizona must do more to slow the spread of COVID19 and ensure a safe re-entry into our classrooms.\u201d<\/p>\n

District Superintendent Jeff Gregorich cited Kimberley\u2019s death in arguing against the reopening of local schools in the traditional sense.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think [that] really the message or the concern that our staff has is, we can\u2019t even keep our staff safe by themselves. \u2026 How are we going to keep 20 kids in a classroom safe?\u201d he told CNN.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just don\u2019t see how that\u2019s possible to do that.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
