Renton Hazen High School in Washington state announced it will close Monday after one of its students and a parent reported flu-like symptoms—one of the first schools in the United States to shut down over concerns of the new virus.
In a statement on Sunday, the Renton School District wrote that it “learned from the parent of a Hazen student that the parent and their student are experiencing flu-like symptoms and were tested yesterday for COVID-19.” The student and parent are now in self-quarantine at home while they wait for a result from the test, said the district.
