Mariner High School closure related to coronavirus death
EVERETT — The reality that novel coronavirus is frightening, deadly and lurking at the front door was evident Monday in the empty parking lots at Mariner and Henry M. Jackson high schools.
The campuses are 2¼ miles apart and home to nearly 4,600 students. Both were closed Monday.
At Jackson, a student was diagnosed with the virus Friday, leading district officials to close the school for a deep cleaning.
At Mariner, a close contact of a student became infected with the virus and died, the Snohomish Health District said Monday. The man in his 40s had been in critical condition Sunday at EvergreenHealth Medical Center in Kirkland. Mukilteo School District said Mariner was closed due to a student’s parent testing positive for COVID-19.
