List of school closures due to coronavirus outbreak
NEW YORK - Schools across the region are closing as coronavirus spreads.
In New York City, New Dorp High School and The Hungerford School on Staten Island were closed Friday after a student who attends both schools tested positive for COVID-19.
Two public schools in the Bronx were closed for an initial 24-hour period beginning Thursday after a student's self-confirmed positive case of COVID-19, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced. Those schools are the Laboratory School of Finance and Technology and South Bronx Preparatory, both schools are housed in the same building.
"We need our schools open," said de Blasio on Friday during FOX 5 NY morning program, 'Good Day New York.'
While there are no plans to closed public schools in New York City, the Schools Chancellor says they are ready for any "eventuality."
"This is 1.1 million students, when you think about all their caregivers- when the kids are out of school, what happens to them?" said Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza. "Not all parents have paid leave. It's the last resort for us. That doesn't mean that if circumstances warrant that we won't go there."
Across the state, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said that if a student or staff member tests positive for COVID-19, that school would be closed for at least 24 hours.
