NORWALK, Conn. — Summer classes were canceled Wednesday after a member of the Norwalk high school community tested positive for COVID-19.

In-person classes for the city began Monday with strict reopening protocols including the wearing of face masks by all students and staff, limited class size, social distancing, alternative seating on buses, and frequent hand washing.

It was revealed to the administration that someone in the school community who was in the building on Monday tested positive for the virus. Norwalk Health Department and our medical advisor Dr. Norman Weinberger were consulted with by the Administration and a decision was made to close Norwalk High until July 13. NHS will shift to social learning until next Monday.

The administration also contacted anyone with may have had contact with the member and asked them to self-quarantine for 14 days as well as get tested. The school was thoroughly cleaned.

The article doesn't identify the Covid carrier as a student or staff but this is irrelevant anyway.

Same thing happened in Denmark. All schools opened and at kost it was just fine. But at a Catholic high school 12 students went to Sweden a week before on a religious retreat, did not self isolate as it is mandated and the school had to close on the Tuesday when they go word of 5 out of 12 being infected....

A policy based on having zero COVID-19 cases was ridiculous. One would have to assume that these policy planners knew that at least one "member of the HS community" would contract COVID-19 (most likely from a source outside of the HS facility).
