MARYLAND-The Salisbury School on Hobbs Road in Salisbury is closed for the rest of the week after a family from the school was notified they had possibly been exposed to the coronavirus on a domestic flight home at the end of the school's winter break.

According to Bev Dearing, head of The Salisbury School, the school received notification about the family on Tuesday night. In a release, Dearing said all members of the family remain healthy, without a diagnosis of the virus. They will be beyond the 14-day period of time for isolation this weekend. Dearing said this information was immediately shared with all of the school's families "in a belief that complete transparency is the only way for trust to flourish between family and school."

Dearing said that while The Salisbury School was not asked by the health department to close, the decision was made to do so to be proactive and protective of the students.

In addition to being closed Wednesday, March 11 through Friday, March 13, The Salisbury School has also canceled all school activities for the rest of the week.

Dearing said that during the three days students are away from school, the school will do an additional deep cleaning. Additionally, academic work in all three divisions will continue via the internet and the use of virtual classrooms.

Dearing said The Salisbury School expects to resume classes on Monday, March 16, as usual.

Meanwhile, other School Districts like Somerset County says they are also taking certain precautions when it comes to COVID-19.

Superintendent John Gaddis tells WBOC all out-of-state field trips for students are canceled and out of state travel for staff is also forbidden, but for now, Somerset Schools will remain open.

"We're taking it day by day, hour by hour," Gaddis said.

"We don't have plans to shut schools down, there's a very strict order if you will, or pattern that we'd need to follow to do that, but obviously we're going to take the precautions to protect our staff and our community because we are the gathering spot in our community."

Worcester County said they will also stay open as of now, but have scheduled a deep cleaning for their schools, as has Salisbury School and Worcester County Public Schools.

Lou Taylor, Worcester County Public Schools Superintendent said, "We are also going in and cleaning our buildings much more extensively right now than we normally do, we are going to do a deep clean on ."

Wicomico County said in a press release:

Due to concerns about coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Donna Hanlin has announced new travel rules for Wicomico County Public Schools: Students and/or staff will still be able to travel to events in Maryland or close, neighboring communities on Delmarva, but other out-of-state trips are canceled at this time. This is in keeping with the precautionary travel restrictions put in place by the State of Maryland and advised by the Maryland State Department of Education for all Maryland school systems, yet recognizes the importance of permitting travel to Delaware locations that are in close proximity to Wicomico.
