Please know that privacy reasons prevent us from sharing the name of the affected students.
Because of appropriate physical distancing and other protocols in place, there are no further recommendations or restrictions for other members of the Antonian community at this time.
We will continue to monitor temperatures of the students, faculty, and staff as they enter the building on a daily basis.
As a reminder, the symptoms of COVID-19 can be one, some, or all of these: fever, chills, shortness of breath, cough, fatigue, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell, and/or nausea/diarrhea. If your child develops any symptoms of any illness, please keep your child at home and contact the child's physician for further instructions.
Please pray for the speedy and complete recovery of the students affected by COVID-19, and all who are impacted by the disease.
