SANTA CLARA, Calif.—In an open letter and petition to California Gov. Gavin Newsom and other state officials, a group of Bay Area doctors called for an end to COVID-19 restrictions, saying that the strict policies are harming professional and personal lives and that children also need normalcy in schools again.

The doctors called on officials to “acknowledge the endemic nature of COVID-19 after the Omicron surge and immediately shift our public dialogue toward defining a path for removing all remaining COVID-19 restrictions in public schools.”
