TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — FAMU DRS is once-again closing it's campus and switching back to all remote instruction after being notified of COVID-19 cases.
Thursday morning, school officials said the Leon County Health Department notified FAMU DRS administration of two confirmed COVID-19 cases affecting our campus.
As result, FAMU DRS closed its campus at 1 p.m. and will remain closed until Monday, November 30. All K-12 student instruction will transition to the district’s distance learning platform and no one will be allowed to return to the campus before Nov. 30.
"During this time, all buildings will be thoroughly sanitized and cleaned per guidance and instructions from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC)," school officials wrote in a release.
If you have come in contact with one of the confirmed cases, the Leon County Health Department will contact you and provide you with further instructions.
This is the second time the campus has been closed due to COVID-19 concerns.
In September, COVID-19 concerns forced a closure. The school didn't reopen its campus until October.
