[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a middle school in Oregon, just outside of Portland, with a student who tested positive.  They are not closing the school.

Let's keep an eye on this one and see what happens.[/quote]

The district says they have been consulting with the Oregon Health Authority, Oregon Department of Education and the Washington County Health Department to determine a response.

Based on their guidance, officials say they will not be closing the school. They say updated guidance from the OHA and WCHD is that closing schools [b]may not be an effective method[/b] for stopping the spread of the virus.

The ill student will continue their isolation until they are well. [b]Anyone determined to be at an enhanced risk of exposure will be contacted and asked to self-isolate[/b], officials said.

South Meadows Middle School will receive an enhanced cleaning Sunday evening.[/quote]

This decision won't age well....
