[quote=Anonymous]Dear Prince George’s County Public Schools Community,

On Wednesday, March 11, Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) was notified that an individual affiliated with Eleanor Roosevelt High School and College Park Academy had close contact with someone who traveled to a country under a high-risk coronavirus (COVID-19) warning. As a precaution, both schools will be closed Thursday, March 12 and Friday, March 13 for cleaning and sanitizing. Students and staff will return Monday, March 16.

Due to confidentiality rules, we cannot share identifying details about the individual. The Prince George’s County Health Department is conducting an investigation and gathering important information from the patient to help keep the public safe and healthy. The closures affect all programming at the school, including before and after-school activities and all athletic,  extracurricular and weekend events.

We are following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) best practices for cleaning and disinfection to prevent COVID-19 and other viral respiratory illnesses. This will include high-traffic areas and surfaces, such as doorknobs, keyboards, handrails and countertops.

We understand you may have questions about COVID-19. There will be a telephone town hall on Thursday, March 12 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. with CEO Dr. Monica Goldson, County Health Officer Dr. Ernest Carter, and Dr. George Askew, County Deputy Chief Administrative Officer for Health, Human Services, and Education. You will receive a phone call at 6:30 p.m. to join the town hall. Simply answer and follow the prompts to be connected. If you do not receive a call at 6:30 p.m., please call 855-756-7520 ext. 56844#.[/quote]
