An elementary school student in Georgia contracted COVID-19 this week after attending class on the first day of school.
Sixes Elementary in the Cherokee County School District opened the school year on Monday, but the following day a teacher and 20 other students were asked to self-quarantine after the second-grader tested positive.
The classroom was temporarily closed Tuesday for deep cleaning, CNN reported.
School principal Ashley Kennerly told parents in an email that the quarantined students will participate in remote learning over the next two weeks, according to NBC News.
