Three COVID-19 cases force Bordentown Regional High School to stay virtual until next week
A positive COVID-19 case this past weekend forced Bordentown Regional High School to remain all virtual until Jan. 19.
According to Superintendent Dr. Edward Forsthoffer, one student tested positive for the coronavirus, bringing the number to three individuals in the last week who have contracted COVID-19 since the school returned from the holiday break.
Two students and a staff member are the three COVID-19 cases in the high school, said Forsthoffer.
“I spoke with the Department of Health and the recommendation is when you hit three cases to go all virtual and quarantine the entire school,” Forsthoffer said.
