Nine people test positive for coronavirus at school in Georgia that went viral across folop hall.

At least six students and three staff members have tested positive for the coronavirus in high school in Georgia, which received national attention this past week because of photos that showed his gongs packed with students, a few of whom wore masks. Gabe Carmona, the principal of North Paulding High School, sent a letter to parents over the weekend detailing that nine people who were at the school last week for “at least some time” since testing positive for COVID-19 . “At this time, we know that there were six students and three staff members who were at least some time in school last week, who have since reported to us that they are testing positive,” read the letter published by the Atlanta Journal- Constitution.

The letter does not specify if students or staff members will be placed under quarantine or if any classrooms will be closed. “We expected COVID-19 to affect us, as it has almost every community, and the district has partnered with the Department of Public Health (DPH) to proactively implement safety measures and response plans,” the letter read.

The Paulding County School District began its academic year on Monday and was quickly thrown into the national spotlight after photos of her folks went viral on social media. The attention was not only by what the photos showed, but also how the school district responded to their publication by suspending two students and warning others that they would have consequences if they also published photos on social media.

One of the people arrested was Hannah Watters, a 15-year-old 10th grader who said she regretted her decision not to post the photo, although she admitted it was a violation of the school policy against publishing images of students on social media without their permission. “My mom always told me she’s not going to get mad at us if we’ll get in trouble as long as it’s ‘good trouble,'” Hannah told the New York Times, using the phrase famous by the late John Lewis, the longest-serving Georgia legislator and civil rights icon who died last month. “You are improving society and improving the world so that these consequences are not more severe than the end result.” Hillary Clinton had also called Lewis when she praised the students who took the photos. “John Lewis would be proud,” wrote them on Twitter while linked to a story about the suspensions.

Following a nationwide call, the school district lifted the suspensions on Friday. “After a review of a situation at North Paulding High School that resulted in the suspension of two students, the principal of NPHS [North Paulding High School] announced to the students today that their suspensions have been revoked and all records of the suspensions have been erased, ”wrote Brian Otott, Superintendent of the Paulding County School District, in a statement.

Ottot had previously sent a letter to parents saying the photos were taken out of context. “Some individuals on social media take this photo and use it out of context to criticize our efforts to re-educate schools,” Otott said. “Under the COVID-19 protocols we’ve adopted, class changes like this can happen, especially in a high school with more than 2,000 students.” He also said wearing a mask was a ‘personal choice’ and there was ‘no practical way to wear a mandate to wear them’.
