MEDFORD, MASS. — St. Joseph’s School in Medford has canceled classes until Wednesday after a significant number of students were sent home with stomach bug symptoms.
In a letter sent to parents, the school stated they would be canceling all EDP classes to stop the spread of illness before the holidays.
Classes were originally planned to resume on Wednesday, but school officials said they wanted to use the time to deep clean and sanitize the school.
Classes will now resume as normal on Thursday.
Anyone with Norovirus symptoms should stay home, the letter further states.
To prevent the spread, it’s important to wash your hands for 20 seconds with warm water.
Last week, the Roberts Elementary School in Medford also cancelled school due to a suspected Norovirus outbreak.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.
