HuffPost
Ware County joins four other school districts in the state in suspending classes amid troubling numbers of sick children.
A Georgia county has shut down all 11 of its public schools just over a week after classes began, amid a “sharp increase” in student coronavirus cases. Schools in Ware County in southeastern Georgia are now closed until at least Aug. 27, and students won’t be allowed back until Sept. 7 at the earliest, according to officials. Schools will not offer virtual classes during that time, according to WSAV-TV. Four other small school districts in Georgia suspended in-person instruction earlier in the week, as COVID-19 cases among students soared.More Related News
