COPENHAGEN, March 9 (NNN-Xinhua) — A Danish high school has told all students not to attend lessons from Monday after two students tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday, Danish broadcaster TV 2 reported.
The closure affects over 900 students aged from 16 to 19 who attend Rysensteen high school in the Danish capital city of Copenhagen.
The latest infections at the school came after reports on Wednesday that one student at the high school had been confirmed for COVID-19 infection after a ski trip to Italy and that four classmates were quarantined as a safety measure.
The decision on the closure of the high school is made because the two new cases of COVID-19 infection cannot be directly linked to the first case and therefore there are fears of community-based infection, Denmark’s DR TV reported.
There have been 35 confirmed cases of COVID-19 across the country so far, according to the press release of the Danish Patient Safety Authority on Sunday. — NNN-XINHUA
