Florida has set a record for new infections after reporting 15,300 coronavirus cases on Sunday - the highest single-day total for any state - as three Arizona teachers who shared the same classroom catch the virus before one died from the illness while some of the state's morgues near capacity.
Kimberley Chavez Lopez Byrd, 61, who worked at the Hayden Winkelman School District for 38 years, died on June 26, according to CNN.
She had been hospitalized a little less than two weeks before her death. Arizona health officials have reported more than 122,467 cases of the virus with at least 2,237 deaths.
Two other teachers, Jena Martinez and Angela Skillings, were also diagnosed with the virus last month. They both shared a summer classroom with Byrd and said they are still struggling with the effects of COVID-19.
All three teachers wore PPE, which included masks and gloves. They also used hand sanitizer and made sure to social distance, but they still ended up getting sick.

WNU Editor: US death rates are not spiking as much as many were fearing at the beginning of this month. But this massive increase in cases is a worrisome development. One of my cousins has two of her kids living in Miami. I just finished talking to one of them, and he tells me that many young people are not taking this disease seriously. I told him the same thing is happening in Montreal where I live. Fortunately, new cases are still very low in my city.
