“#19 NYC schools closed this week due to COVID-19 cases<\/strong>”

They had barely cracked a book.<\/p>\n

A total of 19 city schools have already emptied out their classrooms due to COVID-19 cases this week \u2014 just days after reopening.<\/p>\n

According to Department of Education data, Queens saw seven schools shutter, the Bronx had five, Brooklyn four, Staten Island two and Manhattan one.<\/p>\n

In addition, five Learning Bridges centers that provide daycare for remote learners were also closed this week along with four early-learning facilities.<\/p>\n

Another Staten Island school was shuttered for coronavirus cases in the week prior to the reopening, according to the DOE.<\/p>\n

Roughly 850 schools for students in grades K-5 and pre-K \u2014 along with some special needs buildings \u2014 resumed in-person learning on Monday.<\/p>\n

The DOE launched a renewed COVID-19 testing regime for students and staff beginning this past Monday that triggered the fresh closures.<\/p>\n

So far this year, 479 schools have been temporarily locked up at some point due to coronavirus infections.<\/p>\n

The DOE reported 55 new student positives and 58 staff cases on Thursday. <\/p>\n

So far this year, 2,028 students and 2,563 staff have tested positive for the virus, according to DOE numbers.<\/p>\n

Buildings close for varying periods depending on the scope and circumstances of COVID cases.<\/p>\n

As part of his school reopening plan, Mayor Bill de Blasio instituted a more stringent mandatory testing program for both staffers and students.<\/p>\n

Parents must consent to random testing on a weekly basis for their kids to attend in-person classes and teachers who refuse the screens are removed from payroll.<\/p>\n

De Blasio has asserted that ramped up testing helps to guard against COVID-19 outbreaks in the country\u2019s largest school system.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have strict protocols in place to keep our schools safe and we don\u2019t hesitate to thoroughly investigate and take quick action if there is a positive case reported in the building,\u201d said DOE spokesperson Miranda Barbot.\u00a0\u201cWhile we are increasing testing in schools to once per week, we continue to emphasize our preventative safety measures: frequent handwashing, social<\/a> distancing, and face coverings.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
