Upwards of 20 positive COVID-19 cases in the New Orleans Archdiocese have led to 150 students, faculty and staff being quarantined.
“There are no reports at this time of spread within school communities, which leads us to believe our safety and mitigation efforts of social distancing, mask-wearing, hand-washing, and regular thorough cleaning and sanitization of our campuses is working to prevent the spread of the virus,” WWL-TV reports on a statement from the Archdiocese said.
Those sent home to quarantine are a mere drop in the bucket compared to the 33,000 students, teachers and faculty that make up the Archdiocese school system.
