The following is an email sent to YWN by the President of the school, which was also sent to the parents of the school:
Dear YBH Parents,
In the interest of clarity and reassurance, we are sending this email to inform you that we have no confirmed or suspected cases of Coronavirus in the building. A faculty member has been advised to enter self quarantine because they daven in a shul in New York presently under self imposed quarantine. We have been advised that no additional precautions are necessary at this time.
Due to an abundance of caution, we reached out to health officials, and based upon their recommendation we decided to do a thorough cleaning of the building this evening. Unfortunately, parent teacher conferences were also scheduled, which would have limited access to the building and thus we made the decision to cancel.
OUR PLAN IS TO START TOMORROW AT 10 AM IN ORDER TO ALLOW FOR A THOROUGH AND COMPREHENSIVE CLEANING TO TAKE PLACE. WE WILL BE HIRING ADDITIONAL STAFF TO FACILITATE THIS.
There is a coronavirus scare in Passaic, NJ, Tuesday night, after Yeshiva Bais Hillel sent out an email to the parent body.
The email reads as follows:
“Dear YBH Parents,
Please be advised that due to a recommendation made by the Department of Health, we are cancelling parent Teacher Conferences for this evening. A member of the YBH staff was possibly exposed to Coronavirus. We have been told that our students and staff are not at risk at this time., however we are following the recommendation to conduct a thorough cleaning of our building, which will take place this evening. The staff member will not be in school for the recommended voluntary quarantine period. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and collaborate with all appropriate agencies. When additional information becomes available to us, we will be sure to share it with you.
Sincerely,
YBH Administration.
