Palo Alto Unified School District recently announced air quality protocols, stating that indoor COVID procedures will be temporarily suspended when the air quality index reaches 151.

The players, the coaches, and even some of the fans might be resistant to it.](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/IMG_0898-900x600.jpg)
