The mask mandate went into effect at 11:59 pm on Saturday. Critics of school closures noted that many families rely on the support provided by schools, including working parents. There have also been concerns about disruptions to social development and children falling behind their school curriculums. In a Twitter post, Reopen California Schools said on Sunday that Newsom’s decision would go down as "one of the darkest times in California and U. S. history" as special interests were taken into consideration over children. Republican assemblyman Kevin Kiley, who is one of the candidates running in the recall election to replace Newsom in September, said Newsom’s shutdown order did a lot of harm."You'd be hard-pressed to find any action by any governor that did more harm or for worse reasons," he said. A spokesperson for Newsom did not return Fox News’ request for comment about the renewed criticism. Closing schools was intended as a way to prevent the spread of COVID-19. About 4 million residents in Los Angeles are not vaccinated. California dropped its statewide mask mandate in June as the state fully reopened. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that confirmed cases throughout the U. S. are on the rise as well. The most recent seven-day moving average of daily new cases is 26,306, which marks a 69.3% increase when compared with the previous 7-day moving average (15,541).
