The Number of cases of Coronavirus in US has gone up to 300. A woman in her 50s who was a staff member at Chicago’s Vaughn Occupational High School tested positive for the coronavirus on Friday.
In the wake of the diagnosis, Chicago Public Schools (CPS) sent out a letter on Friday evening to parents to say that they will be supporting the staff and students of Vaughn.
The employee had been a passenger on board the Grand Princess cruise ship, disembarking on February 21.
CPS said while the development was concerning, “at the moment this remains an isolated incident and public health experts believe the immediate health risk to the general public remains low.”
CPS said it was not considering closing schools at this time, based on the recommendations of local health authorities.
