STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- As borough residents cope with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, they woke Friday to find fears over the illness are impacting all facets of life.

The key news on borough: Department of Education confirmation that a student who attends the Hungerford program at New Dorp High School tested positive for COVID-19, forcing the closure of the school for at least 24 hours, beginning Friday.

It was a dramatic scene at New Dorp on Thursday, when many kids left early amid word a student was undergoing testing following the positive test of a parent.

Also, the YMCA in Eltingville remains closed as it undergoes cleaning after an adult member was confirmed to have the virus.

Stores on Staten Island remained a chaotic scene on Friday, as shoppers, many wearing medical masks, began lining up before opening to stock up on food and supplies.
