Update - COVID-19 Case New City - March 20, 2020
March 20, 2020
Dear Clarkstown Community and Staff:
Please be advised that we learned yesterday that a parent of a student from New City Elementary School in the Clarkstown School District tested positive for COVID-19 virus. Due to confidentiality considerations, we will not provide any further identifying information.
I am asking that we keep in our thoughts and prayers individuals who have been tested positive with the virus along with their family members.
For all in our community, if you experience any symptoms, including dry cough, fever or shortness of breath, please contact your physician or other health provider immediately for guidance. We recommend that everyone continue to follow the CDC's recommendation of hand washing, social distancing, covering the mouth, coughing and sneezing into a tissue, etc.
Sincerely,
Sue Sherlock
Health Services Coordinator
Martin Cox, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
