46 deaths.- - governor tate reeves says large- parties are to blame for- the recent covid-19 outbreak at- biloxi high - school, which forced them to- switch to distance- learning for the next two weeks- a total of 15 bhs students- tested positive for the - coronavirus and - another 234 were asked to - - - - quarantine due to potential - exposure.
- state health officer dr. thomas- dobbs says with a - situation like this, it was the- right decision however, these - social events were highly - unnecessary.- - "if we want to have football an we want - to have school, we can't have - social events, even social- events that violate the - executive orders that are on th- books.
So, please, please be- careful, don't have - - - - parties, if you're a parent for- goodness sakes please don't - sanction them or- conduct them yourselves because- you're not only putting your- kids at risk but- you're also putting the entire- educational system at risk.
- these large social gatherings - where there are four or five- people that are found - to be positive, even though the- may not have known that they ha- - - - the virus and they may have bee- asymptomatic, is going to lead- to a scenario in which, - potentially, you've got 25-33%- of the entire school mandated t- be under quarantine - because they came into close- contact with these positive - - - - cases.
Well, at some point that- such a large number that they - decide to more or less- quarantine the entire - school for the next 14 days."
Biloxi high school is expected- to return back to - in-person classes on september- 8th.-
