OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Schools in the Omaha area are reporting new cases of the coronavirus, just days after opening classes to in-person attendance during a global pandemic.
The Omaha World-Herald reports that officials disclosed two confirmed cases at Reagan Elementary School in the Millard Public Schools district.
Ralston Public Schools also sent notice of a confirmed case in its Blumfield Elementary School.
Officials in both districts said those infected and those who have been in contact with them have been told to self-quarantine, and that both schools are being deep-cleaned.
Both districts began classes this week on a staggered attendance system, with different groups of students attending on different days.
