Blue Hill, Deer Isle schools close amid COVID outbreak
BLUE HILL — Schools here and in Deer Isle will be holding remote classes this week due to COVID-19 cases among staff and students and, in the case of Deer Isle, a weekend gathering earlier this month where several families came in contact with someone who has now gotten sick.
George Stevens Academy has reported four positive COVID-19 cases among staff and students.
“We’re going remote because we need to have some time for cleaning,” said Head of School Tim Seeley. “There’s four other schools that are going remote this week because of cases.”
