COVID-19 Suspends In-Person High School In Clinch County

A high school in a south Georgia county is stopping in-person instruction for 10 days because of high numbers of COVID-19 exposures.

The Clinch County school system closed 350-student Clinch County high school from Friday through Sept. 28, saying many students have been exposed to the coronavirus and are under quarantine.

The rural county just north of the Florida line has had the eighth-most cases per capita among Georgia counties in the last 14 days, according to numbers kept by The Associated Press.
