Outbreak of 14 people at New Corona Elementary School Atsugi Kanagawa August 13 20:23
The Board of Education of Atsugi City, Kanagawa Prefecture, announced that by the 13th, a total of 14 outbreaks of 10 children and 4 teachers had occurred at an elementary school in the city.
The Atsugi City Board of Education held a press conference on the 13th and announced that 9 newborns, male and female, under the age of 10 were found to be newly infected at Municipal Yochinan Elementary School.
At this elementary school, one girl child and four teachers had been infected so far, and a total of 14 infections have been confirmed.
We are investigating that the cluster is likely to have occurred in the prefecture.
At the moment, all of them are symptom-free and are being treated at home.
All 10 children are in a class in which a male teacher in their twenties, whose infection is already known, is in charge of the class, so the city board of education is worried about by parents, so it is still inspected We will work with the prefecture so that even 460 children who do not receive the examination can be examined.
At the elementary school, we plan to sterilize the entire school building again, and we are considering extending the summer vacation period until the 18th of this month.
“I am sorry for the great anxiety and concern for the local people. I want to regain an environment where children can study with peace of mind as soon as possible,” said Atsugi City Board of Education Koji Soda.
