AURORA, Colo. — Students on the Eaglecrest High School wrestling team have been quarantined for weeks following a COVID-19 outbreak and one student says it's taking its toll on him and violating his rights.
"It's been pretty hard," said Gabe Rangel, who is a freshman. "I feel like, really lonely and sad because all I get to do is sit in my room or sit in the house and just do nothing."
Most of the wrestling team got infected. The Tri-County Health Department sent a letter to Cherry Creek Schools calling it "an extraordinarily high COVID-19 attack rate" forcing the 60-member team to quarantine.
