On a warm summer weekday in the middle of July in Greenwich, Connecticut, one of the wealthiest communities in the country, a group of teenagers gathered at a house party. Many were seniors who had just finished their final year at two elite private college-preparatory schools, Greenwich Academy and
the Brunswick School, as well as the local public high school, Greenwich High School, according to accounts from students and school officials.
Some members of the Greenwich High School football team were placed in quarantine after a player tested positive, school officials said. About a dozen students did not attend a socially distanced Brunswick School commencement ceremony Saturday after acknowledging that they had been exposed to someone who had tested positive.
Several students contacted for this article said they did not feel comfortable discussing the events. In some cases, students said that they had been told by their parents not to share information about the parties. In New York City, as images of young people crowding outside bars and other venues circulated this month, Mayor Bill de Blasio said there had been an uptick in infections among people in their 20s.
“It’s summertime,” said Jayme Stevenson, the first selectman of Darien. “It’s beach weather. People are out on boats. They are having parties. And I think they are beginning to let their guard down. It’s critically important that young people understand that they can get the virus and they can spread the virus.”
