NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Nineteen cases of COVID-19 have been identified at a school in East Harlem, forcing it to close.
The Department of Education’s website says P.S. 79 will go fully remote for ten days.
“All my efforts are focused on supporting the principal, making sure parents are notified so they don’t show up on Monday & that the students and families have access to the devices they need,” Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer tweeted Saturday.

This is an unfortunate situation & we need the city’s leadership to take responsibility. https://t.co/p0k5K7wqwa
