Although multiple school districts in both states of Washington and Oregon have announced their closure due to coronavirus (COVID-19) concerns, the Universities of Washington and Oregon say they will continue normal operations.
In Washington, the state Department of Health had announced two COVID-19 cases on Feb. 28. One of those diagnosed was a teenage boy who attends a high school in Mill Creek, about 22 miles north of Seattle. The school was promptly closed through this Monday to disinfect the building and buses. Another Seattle-area high school is also closed “out of an abundance of caution” after a student and parent, reported flu-like symptoms and were self-quarantined.
