School buses are parked in a depot lot in Elizabeth, New Jersey, on Aug 14, 2020. NEW YORK: Almost as quickly as they welcomed students back, some US schools are closing again due to outbreaks of COVID-19, the latest challenge as the nation tries to reopen while the level of new cases per day remains high in most states.
"As we have said since we announced our reopening, we will not hesitate to quarantine students and close classrooms in an effort to continue operating school in-person for as long as possible," the district said in a statement on Sunday, postponing the planned start to in-person classes from Monday to Aug 31.
A Nebraska school district said on Saturday it had cancelled classes after three staff members tested positive and 24 more were in quarantine for exposure in the Broken Bow School District, about 300km west of Omaha.
