Summary
Former HUD secretary Julián Castro discusses how Texas officials have handled the pandemic, and whether schools should reopen for in-person classes. "I know, you know, from everything that we read as parents, that it would be better for them, learning-wise, to be able to be in a classroom with a teacher, but I don't think that it's safe right now," said Castro, whose home state of Texas remains in the midst of a weeks-long surge in both novel coronavirus cases and deaths, in an ABC News Live interview on Monday. "The governor of Texas reopened the state too early, and when he reopened, there wasn't a sufficient amount of testing or contact tracing, which is what scientific experts tell us you need in order to reopen safely," Castro said.
