Reporter Roundup: Health Inequities, School Closures

Season 1 Episode 112

On the April 2 edition of Reporter Roundup, KPCC reporters discuss difficult choices schools are facing and the healthcare inequities revealed by the coronavirus.

KPCC’s Jackie Fortier has found personal protective gear is exposing a kind of hierarchy and equity issues in healthcare.

School superintendents across California will have to decide whether to remain closed for the school year, according to Carlia Javier.

Air traffic is down ninety percent at the Los Angeles International Airport, causing airport officials to rethink resources, reports Sharon McNary.
