The 23-year-old international student from Japan, now a senior at San Francisco State University, believed stay-at-home orders issued in early March would essentially constitute an early Spring Break, and that the virus would be under control by April – he and his friends even nicknamed the shutdown ‘corona-cation.’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Initially, when I heard that the school is going fully online, me and my friends kind of thought of it lightly, sort of like a vacation,” Matsushita said. But what first seemed like a joke has resulted in grim realities and difficult choices. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the COVID-19-related health concerns all students face, international students in California are grappling with continuing to pay full tuition for online-only learning that was supposed to be a rich, in-person cultural experience – on top of worries about whether they would be allowed to return to the United States if they left for their home counties due to confusing guidance from the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Chayanee Jantaradaval, international student at SF State\"]‘We’re staying in San Francisco, paying San Francisco prices, but we’re not getting the San Francisco experience that we looked forward to, coming as an international student.’[/pullquote]The California State University system typically enrolls about 4,000 new international students annually across 23 campuses, constituting about 3% of the student population.

That’s despite a \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-11-10/cal-state-enrollment-surge-coronavirus-covid-online-classes\">surge in overall enrollment\u003c/a> during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of outreach CSUs were able to do because of shelter-at-home orders as well as visa closures in April directly impacted the number of admitted students for the fall semester, according to a spokesperson from CSU.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/38b6562b7aaa73ea66fb72b06472e05d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nationwide, most international students come from countries in Asia,\u003c/a> and these students contribute a large amount of money to the U.S. economy.

Dr. Leo Van Cleve, who oversees international programs across Cal State universities, explained that if the number of total international students at a CSU declines in a given year, that decline will continue to impact that university for at least four years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For that reason, we would like to maintain our international enrollment so that when we are able to reopen campuses, we have not lost that element of our students,” Van Cleve said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the pandemic has impacted recruitment efforts and increased bureaucratic roadblocks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since shelter-in-place orders are forcing many people to work from home, international programs are unable to do their usual outreach. Despite trying various online methods, the program struggled to spread information about their study abroad programs because there were no in-person meetings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another reason why the number of international students has declined is due to limitations in visa sections in U.S. consulates worldwide since April. For international students, obtaining a visa is the first priority for studying abroad. Typically, students have to apply for a student visa, schedule an interview with the consulate and if they are approved then they have to gather the appropriate documents and prepare to come into the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But since the consulates were closed during the time of admittance, students were unable to obtain a valid visa because the process can take months to complete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Consulates began reopening in June and July, but it may not have been enough time for students to get their visas,” Van Cleve said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impact of the 11% decrease in international students goes beyond money. “They add to the diversity of the campus, the exchange of differing perspectives which benefit fellow students and the entire university community,” Van Cleve wrote in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Deportation Threat, Rescinded\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Van Cleve also mentioned that the Trump administration’s rash decision to deport international students due to all virtual classes caused confusion and fear among students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/sevp-modifies-temporary-exemptions-nonimmigrant-students-taking-online-courses-during\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">issued guidance in July\u003c/a> that threatened to deport international students to their home countries if they were unable to take at least one in-person class due to the pandemic. Soon after, big institutions like Harvard and MIT\u003ca href=\"https://www.harvard.edu/sites/default/files/content/sevp_filing.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> filed a lawsuit,\u003c/a> resulting in the initial guidance being rescinded \u003ca href=\"https://www.acenet.edu/News-Room/Pages/Trump-Administration-Withdraws-Directive-Banning-International-Students.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">before the lawsuit moved forward\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the guidance being rescinded, the initial threat created a lot of concern among international students, who feared they might not be able to re-enter the country for school if the guidance were to have been approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11847090\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11847090\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/IMG_2221-800x1210.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1210\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/IMG_2221-800x1210.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/IMG_2221-1020x1542.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/IMG_2221-160x242.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/IMG_2221-1016x1536.jpg 1016w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/IMG_2221.jpg 1064w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Om Dhankara is an international student from Gujarat, India studying at SFSU. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Om Dhankara)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And some students are faced with a stark decision to stay or return to their home country to care for family members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Om Dhankara, originally from Gujarat, India, came to the Bay Area at the end of last year. Before COVID-19, the 19-year-old was looking forward to the next four years experiencing a new campus. He decided to go to the Cal State University with the fifth-highest acceptance rate of international students: San Francisco State University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He began his studies at SFSU in January and was only able to experience in-person instruction for a month and a half. In that short amount of time, Dhankara saw the culture and diversity that makes up San Francisco and made connections with professors and students. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was really excited to have those classes as this was like a new thing for me to learn. I was meeting new people, new professors, and new culture and everything,” Dhankara said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dhankara feels grateful that he was able to arrive at SFSU before the pandemic hit, but now he is faced with a difficult decision: whether to stay, social distancing in the Bay Area with five of his roommates, or return to India to take care of his father, who’s battling the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not good for me right now, to stay here, but I can’t do anything right now,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dhankara plans on staying at SFSU until 2024, and as soon as a vaccine for the virus comes out, he plans on visiting his family in India.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another student, Chayanee Jantaradaval, originally from Thailand, is in her last year at San Francisco State studying international business. Jantaradaval came to the Bay Area in 2017. Luckily, she was able to have a typical college experience for most of her undergraduate career – but Jantaradaval never expected to finish her last year at SFSU online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re staying in San Francisco, paying San Francisco prices, but we’re not getting the San Francisco experience that we looked forward to, coming as an international student,” said Jantaradaval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that she pays about $25,000 per semester. That includes per-unit class fees and off-campus living, food and transportation expenses. Despite the cost, Jantaradaval decided to persevere and complete her education during the pandemic. She’s on-track to graduate in the spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sora Matsushita – who returned back to Japan on Oct. 21 – made the decision to head home after confirming he could watch his SF State courses’ online lectures at a time convenient for him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a shame that I have to learn this way because I feel like I could be learning much more in person,” said Matsushita, who is studying behavioral economics. He decided to continue his studies in Japan while taking care of his mother, who currently lives alone. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t want her to go out and expose herself,” he said of his mother, who is at high risk for COVID-19. He plans to come back to San Francisco in January to finish his last semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the pandemic continues to keep people grappling with uncertainty, international students remain hopeful that after they graduate they will be able to get a job in the US. Upon graduating, international students are allowed to stay in the country for 90 days to find a job that will sponsor their visa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You need to be hired within the first three months, and that opportunity is definitely one of the reasons that I chose to even come to the United States,” Jantaradaval said. She still hopes to secure a job in real estate, despite the struggles the coronavirus has posed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Soon after, big institutions like Harvard and MIT\u003ca href=\"https://www.harvard.edu/sites/default/files/content/sevp_filing.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> filed a lawsuit,\u003c/a> resulting in the initial guidance being rescinded \u003ca href=\"https://www.acenet.edu/News-Room/Pages/Trump-Administration-Withdraws-Directive-Banning-International-Students.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">before the lawsuit moved forward\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the guidance being rescinded, the initial threat created a lot of concern among international students, who feared they might not be able to re-enter the country for school if the guidance were to have been approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11847090\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11847090\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/IMG_2221-800x1210.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1210\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/IMG_2221-800x1210.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/IMG_2221-1020x1542.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/IMG_2221-160x242.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/IMG_2221-1016x1536.jpg 1016w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/IMG_2221.jpg 1064w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Om Dhankara is an international student from Gujarat, India studying at SFSU. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Om Dhankara)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And some students are faced with a stark decision to stay or return to their home country to care for family members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Om Dhankara, originally from Gujarat, India, came to the Bay Area at the end of last year. Before COVID-19, the 19-year-old was looking forward to the next four years experiencing a new campus. He decided to go to the Cal State University with the fifth-highest acceptance rate of international students: San Francisco State University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He began his studies at SFSU in January and was only able to experience in-person instruction for a month and a half. In that short amount of time, Dhankara saw the culture and diversity that makes up San Francisco and made connections with professors and students. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was really excited to have those classes as this was like a new thing for me to learn. I was meeting new people, new professors, and new culture and everything,” Dhankara said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dhankara feels grateful that he was able to arrive at SFSU before the pandemic hit, but now he is faced with a difficult decision: whether to stay, social distancing in the Bay Area with five of his roommates, or return to India to take care of his father, who’s battling the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not good for me right now, to stay here, but I can’t do anything right now,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dhankara plans on staying at SFSU until 2024, and as soon as a vaccine for the virus comes out, he plans on visiting his family in India.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another student, Chayanee Jantaradaval, originally from Thailand, is in her last year at San Francisco State studying international business. Jantaradaval came to the Bay Area in 2017. Luckily, she was able to have a typical college experience for most of her undergraduate career – but Jantaradaval never expected to finish her last year at SFSU online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re staying in San Francisco, paying San Francisco prices, but we’re not getting the San Francisco experience that we looked forward to, coming as an international student,” said Jantaradaval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that she pays about $25,000 per semester. That includes per-unit class fees and off-campus living, food and transportation expenses. Despite the cost, Jantaradaval decided to persevere and complete her education during the pandemic. She’s on-track to graduate in the spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sora Matsushita – who returned back to Japan on Oct. 21 – made the decision to head home after confirming he could watch his SF State courses’ online lectures at a time convenient for him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a shame that I have to learn this way because I feel like I could be learning much more in person,” said Matsushita, who is studying behavioral economics. He decided to continue his studies in Japan while taking care of his mother, who currently lives alone. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t want her to go out and expose herself,” he said of his mother, who is at high risk for COVID-19. He plans to come back to San Francisco in January to finish his last semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the pandemic continues to keep people grappling with uncertainty, international students remain hopeful that after they graduate they will be able to get a job in the US. Upon graduating, international students are allowed to stay in the country for 90 days to find a job that will sponsor their visa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You need to be hired within the first three months, and that opportunity is definitely one of the reasons that I chose to even come to the United States,” Jantaradaval said. She still hopes to secure a job in real estate, despite the struggles the coronavirus has posed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Vice President-elect Kamala Harris’ ascension to the White House is felt keenly in the Bay Area. Harris was born in Oakland, attended grade school in Berkeley and worked in San Francisco government, where she first met Mayor London Breed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both are Black women leaders \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11845298/as-first-female-vice-president-elect-kamala-harris-rewrites-script-for-presidential-politics\">who have inspired others into office\u003c/a>, but who also developed a friendship despite the notoriously rough-and-tumble world of San Francisco politics. In light of their history and impact on the Bay Area, Mayor Breed sat down with KQED to share her perspective on Harris’ historic rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this Nov. 7 interview, the day news of President-elect Joe Biden’s win emerged, Breed sheds light on how she met Harris, and if she would join Harris’ administration should an invitation come her way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is a history of San Francisco elected officials being considered for presidential administrations: In 1993, now-City Attorney Dennis Herrera was \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfcityattorney.org/aboutus/thecityattorney/\">appointed by President Bill Clinton\u003c/a> to serve in the U.S. Maritime Administration, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/matier-ross/article/Is-Hillary-Clinton-the-ticket-out-of-town-for-Ed-10594705.php\">former-Mayor Ed Lee was a much-talked-of pick for Hillary Clinton’s proposed administration\u003c/a>. Breed is also rumored to be among Gov.

And I had a tremendous amount of respect for her because she was a part of an organization called Partners Ending Domestic Abuse, and she was raising money to help support victims of domestic violence. And she instantly became not just a friend, but like an adviser and someone who encouraged and supported me. And we’ve just been friends ever since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it’s really pretty remarkable what’s happened here. And I couldn’t think of a better person to serve in this capacity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/LondonBreed/status/1323733806214389760\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And you have before also referenced comments of Sen. Harris being a friend and mentor to you, a ‘Bay Area sister.’ How are you feeling in general today?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s almost like it’s not even real, but it’s real. I am I’m feeling really good. I’m feeling optimistic about the future of our country, especially because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are such amazing people. And I know they’re going to do an extraordinary job. They have a huge responsibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that means people like myself who are mayors all over the country and other leaders in respective cities throughout the country, we got to do our part too, to make sure that they are supported, because these last four years have been very challenging to live through. So we got a lot of change that we need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11846531 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/GettyImages-1041919604-1180x787.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I’m wondering, should the vice president-elect make it clear that you have a place in her administration — whether subcabinet or otherwise — would you consider moving up to a higher office there?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I got to tell you, I love being mayor. I’m really focused on being mayor. And I’m also focused on enjoying this victory and the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I just, I’m not certain how I might feel about moving from this incredible opportunity as mayor. I think I am great here as mayor and I want to focus on that job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So we’ll see. I want to be supportive. I want to be helpful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I also want to make sure that I’m taking care of San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/EJaneL/status/1084339950814781441\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You initially backed Mayor Mike Bloomberg for president. Are you concerned about a Joe Biden presidency in any way? Were there any policies of Biden’s that gave you pause?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wasn’t concerned about Joe Biden’s policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s just I had been working with Michael Bloomberg very closely. He’s been very supportive in helping us with resources around homelessness and other things that he had to address as mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he and I just had a very close relationship where we were working together. And he was very supportive of me from the very beginning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It had nothing to do with Joe Biden and his policies and the kind of person he is, I think, an extraordinary person. I had a chance to get to know his son, Beau Biden, sadly, before he passed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, you know, just good people, a good family and good for this country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>People all over the Bay Area and San Francisco are celebrating today, but two weeks ago you paused the reopening of the city because of an increase in COVID-19 cases. What advice do you have for people out there celebrating today?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I would love to run to the Castro and celebrate with them, with the music and the fun and the excitement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/bethlaberge/status/1325201499555721221\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the fact is, we are still in the midst of a global pandemic. And what we don’t want to see is a spike in our cases. So I want to ask people to wear their masks, keep their distance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s so hard because you can’t help yourself after what we’ve been living through with Donald Trump. I don’t blame people for wanting to celebrate, but we also have to be mindful that we’ve come a long way with COVID-19 and we don’t want to go backwards. So we’ve got to be really careful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview has been edited for clarity and brevity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

However, multiple people with knowledge of the testing efforts said the Verily registration process proved chaotic for homeless people and others in the Tenderloin district, one of the city’s poorest neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kenneth Kim, clinical director of Glide, an outreach center that helped run the Tenderloin site, said many homeless residents coming in for testing had Gmail accounts, as Verily required, but could not remember their passwords. When staffers at the testing site tried to help them retrieve their passwords, they found that Google’s two-factor authentication process required users to have the same phone number as when they signed up, which few of the homeless participants did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Jonathan Fuchs, who leads San Francisco County’s testing strategy at the Department of Public Health, confirmed that the partnership with Verily was “currently on hold.” He declined to provide further details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to questions, Verily spokesperson Kathleen Parkes said the program requires users to register with Gmail accounts because Google’s authentication procedures safeguard sensitive data and protect “against unknown individuals sending or receiving information with serious consequences for health or well-being.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conversations with San Francisco and Alameda remain “active,” Parkes said. The company did not respond to specific questions about the testing disparities cited by community leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Verily’s role in COVID-19 testing has been shadowed by controversy since President Donald Trump told reporters at a Rose Garden news conference in March that “Google” was developing a screening website and testing tool. “Google has 1,700 engineers working on this right now,” he said. “They’ve made tremendous progress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, COVID-19 tests were in short supply and Trump was under pressure to increase capacity as infections ballooned in California, New York and other states. But Google was not building such a website. Instead, Verily, another Alphabet Inc. subsidiary focused on life sciences, was in the early stages of developing a website to help triage people in need of COVID-19 testing, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Google_Comms/status/1238574670686928906\">Google clarified in a tweet\u003c/a>. It planned to unveil a pilot program in two Bay Area counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Days later, Newsom announced a California partnership with Verily that so far has paid the company $55 million to establish both mobile and brick-and-mortar testing sites. In addition, Verily has partnered with Rite Aid to manage testing at approximately 300 sites in multiple states under a \u003ca href=\"https://www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD_75P00120C00030_7570_-NONE-_-NONE-\">$122.6 million federal contract\u003c/a> between the pharmacy chain and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. California’s Verily contracts are in place through Nov. 30; the HHS contract is set to expire in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Participants in the Verily initiative sign an authorization form that says their information can be shared with multiple third parties involved in the testing program, including unnamed contractors and state and federal health authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While the form tells you that Verily may share data with ‘entities that assist with the testing program,’ it doesn’t say who those entities are. If one of those unnamed and unknown entities violates your privacy by misusing your data, you have no way to know and no way to hold them accountable,” said Lee Tien, senior staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit that advocates for digital privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The policy states Verily will not use the data collected for its own research or meld it with other Google products without the user’s permission. But it notes participants may be invited to share their data for such research, and the testing portal prominently features links inviting participants to sign up for other Verily research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote citation=\"Dr. Margot Kushel, director of UCSF Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative\" size=\"medium\" align=\"right\"]‘It turns out that in public health, the highest-tech solution is usually not the right one.’[/pullquote]In California, as of Oct. 8, the Verily sites had processed an average of 1,583 patient samples per day over the prior seven days, according to the California Department of Public Health. Verily, the state health department and Alameda County all declined requests to provide race and ethnicity data by testing site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Kim Rhoads, a UCSF professor and former colorectal surgeon who leads a COVID-19 testing project for Black communities, said Aboelata’s experience with Verily is emblematic of widespread racial disparities in the testing and treatment of COVID-19. “We can’t keep talking about the consequences being unintended,” Rhoads said. “We are six months into this pandemic and anyone who is surprised by the repetitive findings of inequity in testing, the spread of virus and COVID-19 mortality just isn’t paying attention.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview, Ghaly, California’s health secretary, said he believed the state’s partnerships with Verily and other companies continue to be a national model for addressing problems with testing disparities, including setting up venues for minority and rural populations. For example, in counties in northern parts of the state, sometimes the only regular testing available was through mobile testing set up under the program, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there’s lots of success and lots of lessons learned and we continue to apply them,” Ghaly said. “Until the entire effort is completed, I always look at where we are as part success and part opportunity to keep learning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://khn.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/10/Secretary-Ghalys-Response-to-Oakland-Mayor-and-Racial-Disparities-Task-Force.pdf\">a September response\u003c/a> to the Oakland COVID-19 disparities task force, Ghaly outlined several actions the state had taken or would take in response to the concerns, including having Verily update its platform to include additional languages and work with testing vendors on alternative methods for data collection to address privacy concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some of the things we learned specifically in our experience in Alameda and other parts of the Bay Area is language matters,” Ghaly told Kaiser Health News.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After working with the homeless for 25 years, Dr. Margot Kushel, director of the UCSF Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative, said she wasn’t surprised to learn some community leaders ran into problems with Verily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It turns out that in public health, the highest-tech solution is usually not the right one,” she said. To bring COVID cases down, she explained, requires a “laser focus” on the highest-risk communities. And people in those communities often don’t want to turn over the protected information Verily asks for, whether because of fears about their immigration status or a history of mistrust of the medical establishment and policing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can imagine a million and a half reasons why people would distrust it,” Kushel said. “The very structure of this is set up to fail. And by failing the communities who need it most, we fail everybody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>California Healthline correspondent Angela Hart contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

When staffers at the testing site tried to help them retrieve their passwords, they found that Google’s two-factor authentication process required users to have the same phone number as when they signed up, which few of the homeless participants did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Jonathan Fuchs, who leads San Francisco County’s testing strategy at the Department of Public Health, confirmed that the partnership with Verily was “currently on hold.” He declined to provide further details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to questions, Verily spokesperson Kathleen Parkes said the program requires users to register with Gmail accounts because Google’s authentication procedures safeguard sensitive data and protect “against unknown individuals sending or receiving information with serious consequences for health or well-being.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conversations with San Francisco and Alameda remain “active,” Parkes said. The company did not respond to specific questions about the testing disparities cited by community leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Verily’s role in COVID-19 testing has been shadowed by controversy since President Donald Trump told reporters at a Rose Garden news conference in March that “Google” was developing a screening website and testing tool. “Google has 1,700 engineers working on this right now,” he said. “They’ve made tremendous progress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, COVID-19 tests were in short supply and Trump was under pressure to increase capacity as infections ballooned in California, New York and other states. But Google was not building such a website. Instead, Verily, another Alphabet Inc. subsidiary focused on life sciences, was in the early stages of developing a website to help triage people in need of COVID-19 testing, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Google_Comms/status/1238574670686928906\">Google clarified in a tweet\u003c/a>. It planned to unveil a pilot program in two Bay Area counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Days later, Newsom announced a California partnership with Verily that so far has paid the company $55 million to establish both mobile and brick-and-mortar testing sites. In addition, Verily has partnered with Rite Aid to manage testing at approximately 300 sites in multiple states under a \u003ca href=\"https://www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD_75P00120C00030_7570_-NONE-_-NONE-\">$122.6 million federal contract\u003c/a> between the pharmacy chain and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. California’s Verily contracts are in place through Nov. 30; the HHS contract is set to expire in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Participants in the Verily initiative sign an authorization form that says their information can be shared with multiple third parties involved in the testing program, including unnamed contractors and state and federal health authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While the form tells you that Verily may share data with ‘entities that assist with the testing program,’ it doesn’t say who those entities are. If one of those unnamed and unknown entities violates your privacy by misusing your data, you have no way to know and no way to hold them accountable,” said Lee Tien, senior staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit that advocates for digital privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The policy states Verily will not use the data collected for its own research or meld it with other Google products without the user’s permission. But it notes participants may be invited to share their data for such research, and the testing portal prominently features links inviting participants to sign up for other Verily research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Verily, the state health department and Alameda County all declined requests to provide race and ethnicity data by testing site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Kim Rhoads, a UCSF professor and former colorectal surgeon who leads a COVID-19 testing project for Black communities, said Aboelata’s experience with Verily is emblematic of widespread racial disparities in the testing and treatment of COVID-19. “We can’t keep talking about the consequences being unintended,” Rhoads said. “We are six months into this pandemic and anyone who is surprised by the repetitive findings of inequity in testing, the spread of virus and COVID-19 mortality just isn’t paying attention.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview, Ghaly, California’s health secretary, said he believed the state’s partnerships with Verily and other companies continue to be a national model for addressing problems with testing disparities, including setting up venues for minority and rural populations. For example, in counties in northern parts of the state, sometimes the only regular testing available was through mobile testing set up under the program, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there’s lots of success and lots of lessons learned and we continue to apply them,” Ghaly said. “Until the entire effort is completed, I always look at where we are as part success and part opportunity to keep learning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://khn.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/10/Secretary-Ghalys-Response-to-Oakland-Mayor-and-Racial-Disparities-Task-Force.pdf\">a September response\u003c/a> to the Oakland COVID-19 disparities task force, Ghaly outlined several actions the state had taken or would take in response to the concerns, including having Verily update its platform to include additional languages and work with testing vendors on alternative methods for data collection to address privacy concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some of the things we learned specifically in our experience in Alameda and other parts of the Bay Area is language matters,” Ghaly told Kaiser Health News.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After working with the homeless for 25 years, Dr. Margot Kushel, director of the UCSF Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative, said she wasn’t surprised to learn some community leaders ran into problems with Verily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It turns out that in public health, the highest-tech solution is usually not the right one,” she said. To bring COVID cases down, she explained, requires a “laser focus” on the highest-risk communities. And people in those communities often don’t want to turn over the protected information Verily asks for, whether because of fears about their immigration status or a history of mistrust of the medical establishment and policing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can imagine a million and a half reasons why people would distrust it,” Kushel said. “The very structure of this is set up to fail.

The tests will be administered at school sites by nurses or other staff, who will put them in sealed bags for pickup, with results available in 48 hours, according to Monroe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some Bay Area private, parochial and charter schools have announced plans to resume in-person classes for select students — including at least \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15YjiQ2ZQoAm614xf9IdzAA0s1WkPj98bhKVmkYdzoI4/edit#gid=0\">34 private and parochial elementary schools\u003c/a> in Alameda County —most of the region's largest districts have stuck with distance learning. Many teachers, as well as parents, have expressed concerns over the lack of timely COVID-19 tests for the thousands of school employees who would need to be tested before safely returning to class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"covid-19,coronavirus\" label=\"more coverage\"]The contract comes at little or no cost to individual school districts; tests cost $100 each, and the testing company will bill teachers’ insurance providers directly, Monroe said. Additional schools will be able to sign up for testing in the future, she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no cost to the districts, that's essential,” Monroe said. “Particularly in these times of budget uncertainty at the state level and uncertainty for districts. What it's going to mean for districts is the ability to get results that show that their employees are covered free and give the ability when there is a particular case to respond very quickly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Administering the test at school sites, she added, “is critical.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal also covers juvenile justice programs — like the Butler Academic Academy — and other alternative public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Curative — which has already set up testing kiosks in Berkeley and Los Angeles — is currently working to provide tests to some schools in Texas, but has never worked in California schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both the state Department of Health and the Alameda County Public Health Department have recommended testing be in place before in-person classes reopen, and that at least 25% of all school staff who might be in contact with students or each other — from teachers to custodians to bus drivers — be tested every two weeks.[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Districts, however, can’t reopen schools until teachers' unions agree to the working conditions, and in many districts, the two sides are currently negotiating this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Since the pandemic began, we've realized how important it is to have timely and accurate testing,\" Monroe said. \"And because I have the ability to be in meetings and hear conversations at the state level, it became very clear to me that we really did not have a good solution for this. So I began talking to different companies and potential partners to see if we could solve this problem.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monroe said the next step is to procure tests for students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some teachers still have concerns about reopening too soon, despite the new testing plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Testing does nothing to mitigate the risk factors that exist for me and my students: Our zip code has one of the highest infection rates in the county, our classrooms are tiny and lack adequate ventilation, [there are] high rates of asthma and other underlying conditions in our student and staff population,\" said Maya Brodkey, a teacher at Fremont High School in Oakland. “Distance learning isn’t serving our kids, but I would rather they get a spotty education than risk them (or our staff) getting sick.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along with testing, many parents and teachers have demanded that districts provide adequate PPE, emergency contact tracing plans and deep cleaning plans, as well as clearly communicated plans for staggered drop offs. Public health recommendations also include restricting classes to small cohorts of students who should remain isolated during lunch, recess and bathroom breaks. Schools and districts are also encouraged to develop contingency plans should an outbreak occur.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools in California can reopen for in-person instruction at any time if they are located in counties that have not been on the \u003ca href=\"https://covid19.ca.gov/safer-economy/\">state's monitoring list\u003c/a> within the last 14 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has approved over 900 public and private elementary schools for in-person learning, according the Department of Public Health. Alameda and Santa Clara counties will join San Francisco in the orange tier — which allows schools to reopen physical classrooms — as long as they follow \u003ca href=\"https://files.covid19.ca.gov/pdf/guidance-schools--en.pdf\">state guidance\u003c/a> on how to do so safely. As a condition for reopening, several Bay Area teachers unions are pushing for worksite-specific COVID-19 prevention plans that outline how schools will conduct timely testing and contact tracing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond on Thursday said there is no one-size-fits-all solution to making sure every school can reopen safely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Until we learn more about what we’re dealing with, with the coronavirus, until there's a vaccine, we have to continue to do the things that are proven and that can keep us safe,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post has been updated.

The tests will be administered at school sites by nurses or other staff, who will put them in sealed bags for pickup, with results available in 48 hours, according to Monroe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some Bay Area private, parochial and charter schools have announced plans to resume in-person classes for select students — including at least \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15YjiQ2ZQoAm614xf9IdzAA0s1WkPj98bhKVmkYdzoI4/edit#gid=0\">34 private and parochial elementary schools\u003c/a> in Alameda County —most of the region's largest districts have stuck with distance learning. Many teachers, as well as parents, have expressed concerns over the lack of timely COVID-19 tests for the thousands of school employees who would need to be tested before safely returning to class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Additional schools will be able to sign up for testing in the future, she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no cost to the districts, that's essential,” Monroe said. “Particularly in these times of budget uncertainty at the state level and uncertainty for districts. What it's going to mean for districts is the ability to get results that show that their employees are covered free and give the ability when there is a particular case to respond very quickly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Administering the test at school sites, she added, “is critical.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal also covers juvenile justice programs — like the Butler Academic Academy — and other alternative public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Curative — which has already set up testing kiosks in Berkeley and Los Angeles — is currently working to provide tests to some schools in Texas, but has never worked in California schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both the state Department of Health and the Alameda County Public Health Department have recommended testing be in place before in-person classes reopen, and that at least 25% of all school staff who might be in contact with students or each other — from teachers to custodians to bus drivers — be tested every two weeks.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So I began talking to different companies and potential partners to see if we could solve this problem.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monroe said the next step is to procure tests for students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some teachers still have concerns about reopening too soon, despite the new testing plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Testing does nothing to mitigate the risk factors that exist for me and my students: Our zip code has one of the highest infection rates in the county, our classrooms are tiny and lack adequate ventilation, [there are] high rates of asthma and other underlying conditions in our student and staff population,\" said Maya Brodkey, a teacher at Fremont High School in Oakland. “Distance learning isn’t serving our kids, but I would rather they get a spotty education than risk them (or our staff) getting sick.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along with testing, many parents and teachers have demanded that districts provide adequate PPE, emergency contact tracing plans and deep cleaning plans, as well as clearly communicated plans for staggered drop offs. Public health recommendations also include restricting classes to small cohorts of students who should remain isolated during lunch, recess and bathroom breaks. Schools and districts are also encouraged to develop contingency plans should an outbreak occur.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools in California can reopen for in-person instruction at any time if they are located in counties that have not been on the \u003ca href=\"https://covid19.ca.gov/safer-economy/\">state's monitoring list\u003c/a> within the last 14 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has approved over 900 public and private elementary schools for in-person learning, according the Department of Public Health. Alameda and Santa Clara counties will join San Francisco in the orange tier — which allows schools to reopen physical classrooms — as long as they follow \u003ca href=\"https://files.covid19.ca.gov/pdf/guidance-schools--en.pdf\">state guidance\u003c/a> on how to do so safely. As a condition for reopening, several Bay Area teachers unions are pushing for worksite-specific COVID-19 prevention plans that outline how schools will conduct timely testing and contact tracing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond on Thursday said there is no one-size-fits-all solution to making sure every school can reopen safely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Until we learn more about what we’re dealing with, with the coronavirus, until there's a vaccine, we have to continue to do the things that are proven and that can keep us safe,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post has been updated.
