Student with COVID-19 knowingly attends first day of high school, Oklahoma officials say

A high school student knowingly positive for COVID-19 attended the first day of school in Oklahoma on Thursday, district officials say.

Administrators at Moore Public Schools received an anonymous tip Thursday evening and contacted the Westmoore High School student, KFOR reported.

Moore is a suburb of Oklahoma City.

Officials said the student “was under the understanding that since they were asymptomatic, that they did not need to quarantine for the full ... period,” according to the outlet.

Moore is a conservative suburb, really conservative, they would not pass a mask ordinance. A lot of them think it is a hoax.
