At least two New York area high schools closed Tuesday after a suspected case of the COVID-19 coronavirus in the local community.
SAR Academy and SAR High School said in a statement that it was a precautionary measure, following guidelines from the New York City Department of Health. The school is located in the Bronx neighborhood of Riverdale, according to its website. It’s a modern orthodox Jewish High School, according to its Facebook page.
Another Jewish school outside New York City, Westchester Day School, also announced it would be closed Tuesday due to the potential case at SAR. Westchester Torah Academy was also reportedly closing.
The New York City Department of Health did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment. Representatives from Westchester Day School were not immediately available for comment. Reuters first reported the school closure.
