Kimberley Chavez Lopez Byrd \u2011 a longtime Arizona elementary school teacher \u2011 died on June 26, 2020, of coronavirus after sharing a summer classroom with two other teachers who also fell ill with the disease.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Kimberley Chavez Lopez Byrd, Jena Martinez-Inzunza and Angela Skillings were teaching Hayden Winkelman Unified School District's virtual summer school to kindergarten, first-grade and second-grade students from the same classroom.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Lopez Byrd got sick in early June but was told she had a sinus infection, which was not odd for her, Lopez Byrd's son, Luke, told NBC News. She kept working, but she also kept feeling worse and was finally encouraged by her daughter to go to the hospital.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

On June 13, Lopez Byrd tested positive for COVID-19. The next day she was put on a ventilator. And on June 26, she died.<\/p>\r\n<\/p>
