At least 800 students and staffers in a Georgia school district have been quarantined after coming into contact with dozens of others who tested positive forThe Cherokee County School District in suburban Atlanta started school on Aug. 3, with the first positive case logged the next day. Students were given the choice to attend in-person or remotely. In all, 38 students and 12 staff members on campuses have tested positive for the virus, according to the district.
Students aren’t required to wear masks but are provided ones by the district and recommended to wear them, according to the district. Staff members are required to wear masks or face shields when they cannot social distance. Brian Hightower, superintendent of the Cherokee County district, said in a letter to the community on Friday that there were no plans to close schools at this time, but he sounded a warning.
“How long can we keep schools open?” he said in the letter. “The answer will depend on all of us as a community. We need to social distance whenever we can, and always wear masks when we cannot.”
