COVID-19 outbreak at Edison High School prompts online learning for at least two weeks

Students at Minneapolis' Edison High School will continue their learning online for the next two weeks because of a COVID-19 outbreak.

A "significant" number of students will have to quarantine due to exposure from other students who tested positive for the virus, according to a Facebook statement from Minneapolis Public Schools on Tuesday afternoon. Students will begin distance learning Wednesday and return to in-person classes on Oct. 6.

"Please note that while the number of COVID-positive students was not large, exposure is broad due to students moving from class to class at the high school level," according to another statement on the school's website.
