Fulton County Schools, the largest school district in Georgia, which includes parts of Atlanta, has closed all of its public schools through Tuesday after an employee tested positive for COVID-19, the respiratory disease that derives from coronavirus.
As Atlanta’s WSB-TV reports, an employee of the school district has tested positive for the disease and is being treated at a local hospital. How severe his or her symptoms are is unclear, as of this writing. Also unclear is which school the employee worked at.
“Today, FCS was informed that we have an employee with a confirmed case of coronavirus. Based on this concern, we’ve decided to enact immediate dismissal at the impacted schools,” the district said in a statement via Reporter Newspapers.
In order to get ahead of the curve, the school district dismissed students in the “impacted schools” effective immediately on Monday. On Tuesday, all schools and offices in the district will be closed.
