"Despite stringent control measures, there has been evidence of ongoing transmission and, as a result, the school will be temporarily closed until Wednesday so that deep cleaning -- an outbreak management strategy -- can be thoroughly conducted," the Long Beach Health Department told ABC News.
All school and child care operations at Carver Elementary will remain closed Friday through Tuesday, the district said. The school will not implement virtual classes while it is closed, but teachers are allowed to give students work to be completed at home. "Health officials have determined that this length of closure is the most effective way to stop the further spread of this common virus," the Long Beach Unified School District said in a letter to families.
Direct and indirect contact can include changing diapers, caring for or sharing foods or utensils with a sick person, touching contaminated areas, surfaces or objects, and then touching their mouth or food before washing their hands, according to the health department.
