The father of Missouri’s first COVID-19 coronavirus patient went to a school dance with another daughter on Saturday, effectively breaking a self-quarantine order, according to officials.

Now, Villa Duchesne and Oak Hill School will be closed on Monday after school administrators learned of the incident. They noted that the COVID-19 patient’s sister goes to Villa and went to the dance.
