Fort Worth preschool closes for deep cleaning after child tests positive for coronavirus
A child at the Primrose School of Fort Worth West at 3777 Westridge Ave. tested positive for coronavirus earlier this week.
School officials say they reported the case to the Tarrant County Health Department and notified parents of all the children.
“The safety and well-being of children in our care and our staff is always our priority,” according to a statement from franchise owners Glenn Hadsall and Christi Brownlow. “We are cooperating fully with the health department and following CDC guidelines.”
The school will be closed through April 26.
During that time, “extensive, third-party deep cleaning” and daily sanitation procedures at the school will occur.
“All of us look forward to a rapid recovery,” the statement said.
As of Thursday, 1,559 cases of COVID-19 and 45 deaths have been reported in Tarrant County.
