The Orleans Parish school district announced yesterday that more than 3,000 students and staff at NOLA Public Schools are quarantining due to possible exposure to COVID.
The district, which updates its COVID tracker each Monday, said it was tracking 299 active cases and 370 cumulative cases. A week ago, the district said there were 116 active cases and 638 students and staff quarantining due to possible exposure.
The growing number of cases and quarantining in New Orleans schools comes as the region continues to struggle to get a handle on this latest surge in COVID cases, largely brought on by low vaccination numbers.
