School Closes Due To COVID-19 Cases

HERE WE GO AGAIN!

It’s 2024 and schools are still closing because of COVID-19 cases.

A Tennessee school closed for one day due to a high number of positive COVID tests.

“Stigall Primary School was closed on Tuesday, Aug. 13 due to high COVID numbers, according to a spokesperson with Humboldt City Schools,” WSMV reports.

“The school was only closed for a day to allow for cleaning and disinfecting. Students and staff were able to return on Wednesday,” the outlet added.

“An elementary school in Tennessee closed down yesterday because of ‘COVID cases’ and will be implementing ‘extra precautions’ when they return. The IFR for elementary aged children for COVID is between 0.0001%-0.0004%,” Champagne Joshi said.

“These people are mental,” he added.

Per WSMV:

“Stigall Primary School was closed on Tuesday, August 13th but students returned to class today after a thorough cleaning/disinfecting of the school.

I do not have those numbers but the closure was a result of a number of students and staff testing positive for COVID as well as others presenting with symptoms. The one-day closure was to help stop the spread and develop a plan to insure staff was in place for students to return today (Wednesday, August 14),” the spokesperson said.

“Everyone’s like, ‘COVID is back, COVID is back,'” Jessica Williamson, a parent of a first grader at Stigall Primary, said. “I just feel like it didn’t really go anywhere.”

FOX 13 Memphis reports:

Just days into the new school year, one Mid-South elementary school has already had to shut down due to an uptick in COVID cases.

Students at Stigall Primary School in Humboldt, Tenn., about 90 miles northeast of Memphis, started school on August 1. Parents told FOX13 that they got a letter on Monday night from the district telling them that students needed to stay home Tuesday as the district works to sanitize the building.

“Everyone’s like, ‘COVID is back, COVID is back,’” Jessica Williamson, a parent of a first grader at Stigall Primary, said. “I just feel like it didn’t really go anywhere.”

It’s the second full week of school for Stigall Primary School students, but instead of math class and recess, Williamson’s daughter and her classmates are at home.

“Those are little kids. They’re the most prone to put things in their mouths, to touch each other, to just share germs,” Willamson said.

Williamson got the letter Monday evening from Humboldt City Schools. It says the school would close Tuesday due to an uptick in COVID cases among students and staff.
