Small Coronavirus Outbreak At Vermont Residential School

A small outbreak of coronavirus has been reported at the Bennington School for Girls in Vermont, a residential treatment center for girls with special needs.
Bennington County experienced a localized outbreak of positive COVID-19 cases.  Five of the six cases were people at the school who tested positive for the virus.  State Health Commissioner Dr. Mark Levine said all the residents and staff were tested at the end of last week and over the weekend.  “The majority, residents and staff, were negative.”

The school declined to comment Monday.
