Mississippi children testing positive for the coronavirus schools and student quarantines will be common over the next couple of months, Republican Gov. Tate Reeves told “Your World” Thursday.
“We were up to eight kids there in that community in northeast Mississippi [Corinth] that have tested positive at this time … all of whom we believe contracted it in the community, not in the schools,” Reeves told host Neil Cavuto Thursday. “But we have, in fact, quarantined over 100 kids in the schools. And by the way, this is the way it’s going to have to work over the next three to four months.”
“We recognize that we’re taking risks,” the governor added. “But in today’s world, in 2020, there is no scenario whereby we can eliminate 100 percent of the risk.”
