The Latest: 1,200 Alabama students home after positive test
MOULTON, Ala. — More than 1,200 students at two Alabama schools will begin the year at home after a person connected with both schools tested positive for COVID-19.
While 12 other Lawrence County schools planned to begin traditional classes Wednesday, Superintendent Jon Bret Smith told the Decatur Daily that students from the elementary and middle schools in Moulton, located in north Alabama, would start the academic year taking classes online.
Education officials learned Monday that a person linked to both schools had tested positive for the disease caused by the coronavirus. State health officials recommended delaying the reopening by two weeks. Combined, the schools have more than 105 workers.
School officials notified 10 people who were in contact with the person. Computers are being distributed for online classes.

Fortunately, or so it appears, this was discovered before any of those kids were actually exposed. Keep your fingers crossed.

Exactly. One person can only infect one other person.
What do you think should have been done instead?
send that one person home.

How many would have you preferred to see positive before something was done?

So all the people that one person already had contact with can continue to spread it?
That's genius. You should be running the CDC.
Moreover, with the use of the word "person" as opposed to "student" or "child," indications are that this was an adult.
If I ran the CDC there would be considerably less confusion..

Well, yes. Dead people aren't confused.
interesting observation you have.
Maybe all who are living with excessive fear and angst are already dead but
they have yet to acknowledge it.
Sounds like someone's been reading Kafka.
Welcome to Fall 2020. Schools will open in fits and starts and quickly shut down again as the virus spreads through the student population. This is what Trump has to look forward to in November. An election amidst an absolute chaos of schools shutting down all over the country with dead children in the headlines and no coherent plans to reopen.
