(CNN) A school nurse in Georgia who quit over what she considers a lack of Covid-19 precautions said a viral photo of students crowded last week in a high school hallway and the positive coronavirus cases that followed validates her decision. "I find it very heartbreaking, and it was obviously some sort of validation, but it was not the validation that I necessarily wanted to see," Amy Westmoreland told CNN on Monday. A sophomore at North Paulding High School, north of Atlanta, captured the image of the throng of students, many without masks, as debates roiled nationally over whether in-person learning should resume as the pandemic continues. When the Paulding County School Board came out with provisions for reopening, masks were optional, and Westmoreland decided she needed to make a choice, she told CNN Saturday. "I love these children, I love my job," she said, "but I love them enough to take a stand."
