A DeKalb County elementary school will be closed due to a spike in COVID-19.
Oak View Elementary School had 18 students test positive for the coronavirus. The district said it impacted over 90 students and 13 staff members who have had to quarantine and isolate.
The grades impacted include pre-k, kindergarten, 1st, 2nd and 5th.
No cases have been reported thus far in grades 3rd and 4th.
Out of abundance of caution, the district has decided to close the Oak View Elementary School building effective Sept. 3, and reopen on Sept. 13.
Students will receive virtual instruction and teachers will work virtually next week.
Metro Atlanta school districts are reporting 21,028 of cases of COVID-19 among students and staff just weeks into the school year.
