A Covid-19 outbreak at Barnard Environmental Studies Magnet School has led to the largest quarantine to date at a New Haven public school.
The quarantine affects the school’s joint seventh and eighth-grade cohort.
Six students in the cohort were found to by symptomatic with Covid-19, according to schools spokesperson Justin Harmon.
The remaining 91 students will quarantine as a result.
“Grade 7/8 are one team of students who share the same classrooms, hallways and bathrooms,” Harmon stated. “They have the same teachers and they also eat together in the café.
“This is the largest such outbreak we have had.”
