Tuberculosis cases cancel classes at San Francisco high school

[ad_1]

Classes at Archbishop Riordan High School in San Francisco were canceled Friday and will be suspended next week after tuberculosis cases were discovered.

NBC Bay Area was able to access an email that was sent to another school in the city, referencing that it’s been a month-long health issue for Riordan.

San Francisco’s Department of Health said it has identified at least three active cases of tuberculosis at the school this week. Health officials are not specifying if the patients are students or teachers at Riordan.

Classes will be suspended next week and are slated to start Feb. 9, while plans call for temporary hybrid learning until Feb. 20.

At that point, only students who test negative for tuberculosis will be allowed to return to campus.

Two of Riordan’s basketball games were postponed on Thursday night.

NBC Bay Area’s Ginger Conejero Saab has the full report in the video above.
