MANASSAS, VA – A Manassas high school has been added to the state s coronavirus outbreak list as defined by the Virginia Department of Public Health, which placed Charles J. Colgan, Sr., High School in the outbreak category last week nearly six weeks after the school reported positive cases to the state.
Parents with students in the school were made aware of the outbreak categorization on Tuesday when Principal Tim Healey emailed parents. In the letter, Healey said the outbreak designation is related to a positive coronavirus case within the school community in mid-December. School officials also alerted the community to the report of a confirmed case at the time.
