After students at North Paulding High School were seen shoulder-to-shoulder in a viral photo, several students and staffers have tested positive for COVID-19.

A Georgia high school captured in viral images last week plans to temporarily close all in-person classes — after nine students and staff tested positive for the coronavirus.

Hannah Watters, 15, who was concerned about her and her classmates' health and safety, shared a photo on Twitter and wrote,"Watters' suspension:The school's principal Gabe Carmona notified parents Saturday that six students and three staff members had tested positive for the virus. Each of them had been in the school building sometime in the prior week, though it's unknown if they were infected there.

Now, all students will take online classes Monday and Tuesday, Paulding County Schools Superintendent Brian Otott said in a letter to parents Sunday. He said those two days will be used to clean and disinfect the school, and parents will learn Tuesday evening if in-person classes can resume later in the week.

Dr. Fauci : On behalf of the CDC, have already told the government not to reopen schools and colleges too hastily because our coronavirus pandemic still rising and out of control. They wouldn't listen. They further blame me 😅 just like they blame China.

Same picture with all these kids and not 1 dam mask, stupidity and this virus will never go away because of stupidity like this,he'll let's just have a motorcycle rally in Sturgis to top it off.

I remember when my biggest fear in school was having to speak in front of my class. Children today are being forced to learn in terrifying (guns and deadly viruses) conditions!

Only 9 kids out of the whole school. The mortality rate is, right now, at a level that people don’t talk about, but it’s down tenfold. For kids wellbeing, they need to go back to school.

Let em go back to school without the press intruding. We all need to get used to the fact that COVID19 will be here forever. It is time to move forward

At this rate classrooms will be empty before the end of September

If you read the article, the school has only been opened one week! Neither the staff or students got the virus from school opening, not even from this picture. They had it before school started.

Right...right....a day later huh?

The school and town are liable for each and every sickness and/or death. They made this mandatory, not optional, which shifts the responsibility for the safety of our children right back on them. This was stupid. I get it. the Rs leadership demanded it, but sometimes you say NO.

Poor planning by Administration!

I’m just SHOCKED! 🙄

Go robot

Karma is a bitch!!!!!!!!!

As if this isn't a huge surprise
