At least two Miami students test positive for COVID-19 during first week back in school
At least two students attending Miami-Dade County Public Schools have tested positive for COVID-19 in the first week that schools reopened to accommodate students who prefer in-person learning.
A school district spokeswoman confirmed multiple positive cases in an email to the Herald at 10:21 p.m. She said the impacted schools and individuals have been notified, but that the districts COVID-19 dashboard would not be updated until Friday morning.
It was almost inevitable that as we reopened schools [that] some of these cases would happen, Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said in a video that the district sent to the Herald on Thursday, begging parents to not send sick children to school and to complete a self-screening assessment at home.
By Thursday evening, a spokeswoman with the United Teachers of Dade said the union confirmed six schools, possibly seven, with positive COVID-19 cases. One of those schools has four cases among students and staff.
