3 Cases Of Coronavirus Reported Within N. Babylon School District

NORTH BABYLON, NY — Three new cases of coronavirus were recently reported within the North Babylon School District, officials announced on Monday.

In multiple letters to the community, Superintendent Glen Eschbach stated that one staff member at Marion G. Vedder Elementary School, one student at Belmont Elementary School and one student at North Babylon High School recently tested positive for COVID-19.

All three have been issued quarantine orders.

Based on the information district officials received, no one else from the Marion G. Vedder Elementary School or the middle school was required to quarantine due to these cases.

The employees and students who have been impacted by the case at Belmont Elementary School have already been contacted by school officials.

"Although students have been wearing masks and maintaining 6 foot social distancing, out of an abundance of caution, we are mandating any staff or student who has had contact with the student to be placed in quarantine," Eschbach wrote in the letter. "If you have not been contacted by the nurse or the Personnel Department that means your child has not been identified to have been in contact with the student at school."
