SAN FRANCISCO, CA — As the weekend wraps up, we've rounded up all the stories you may have missed on Saturday and Sunday to prepare you for Monday. But before we jump into Northern California's top stories, Golden State residents should know that some schools were already shuttering in rural parts of the state again to stop COVID-19 outbreaks from spreading among students and staff. At least five schools in California closed last week amid high infection rates as the highly transmissible delta variant continued to circulate, EdSource reported. The closures come just weeks after campuses reopened for the school year. Read more about that here.
