Songshan District School Shut Down After Student Tested Positive 北市松山某國中學生確診  全校今停課

Two middle schools in Taipei spontaneously shut down as Delta variant looming over Taiwan.

Presenter: Two schools have been shut down for a day after a junior high school tested positive for COVID-19. The student got a PCR test due to chest discomfort. After the test came back positive, everyone else at the school was tested as well. Quarantine has been ordered as the paths of staff from the junior high school and the construction worker in New Taipei City have crossed.

A Songshan District junior high school student tested positive for COVID-19 on the 9th. Classes were suspended on the 10th.

Junior High School Student:”I had to confirm with my teacher. (Because you went to bed very early last night?) Yeah.”

The class the student is in, which has 29 students, has been shut down for 14 days. The other 624 students in 23 other classes stayed home on Sept. 10 for one day. The elementary school attended by a family member of the student also closed for one day. A school official says the student has attended classes since the semester started and didn't have any symptoms until the 9th.

Junior High School Director:”The student is part of a school team, so he doesn't attend school in his own school district. He felt some discomfort in his chest (on the 9th), but had no other symptoms before that. He (attended) a tutoring session after school with three other students. They are in quarantine.”

Taipei City Hospital Vice Superintendent Hsu Chia-chen visited the school to observe the administration of PCR tests. It is unclear how the student got infected.

Tsai Ping-kun, Taipei City Deputy Mayor:”The student, school staff, and the New Taipei City case all crossed paths. However, there is no connection between Songshan District and New Taipei City.”

Junior High School Director:”Three classes have been suspended until next Tuesday. Classes will resume on Wednesday. The school also had a professional cleaning company come in to sterilize the campus.”

Staff that had contact with the student have been ordered to quarantine. Meanwhile, three classes with 90 students that had contact with the students have been suspended for five days. A preschool has also suspended classes with 19 students order to quarantine as a precautionary measure. The junior high school has 1,300 students and the school will arrange online classes for students that have requested disease prevention leave.

疫情再起，台北市松山區有一所國中，出現學生確診，校方9號晚上發出緊急通知，10號全校停課一天，但一早，還是有學生到學校，撲了空。

北市松山區某國中學生：「就跟老師確認一下，(因為你昨天很早就睡覺了)嗯。」

出現確診者的班級，全班29人停課14天，其他23個班級共有624人，9月10日預防性停課1天，而確診學生的家人就讀的某國小班級，也預防性停課1天，線上居家學習。校方指出，確診學生從開學一直都有到學校上課，期間沒有症狀，直到9號出現不舒服，採檢結果是陽性。

北市松山區某國中主任：「因為要到本校的校隊，所以學生有跨區就讀的狀況，是有胸口不舒服，但是在這之前完全沒有其他的健康狀況，據了解下課後有(參加)一個家教班，目前這個家教班是屬於4人的小型家教班，目前也都進行匡列當中。」

聯醫副總院長許家禎也來學校關心，因為下午1點半，全校PCR篩檢，3個年級分流進行，但確診者的感染源為何，疫調還在進行中，無獨有偶，文山區有國中也出現停課通知。

台北市副市長 蔡炳坤：「(國中)教職員跟確診者，跟新北確診者有足跡重疊，那松山區的部分跟新北無關。」

北市文山區某國中主任：「老師的任教班級3個班級預防性停課，從今天開始到下禮拜二，星期三復課，昨天晚上學校也請了專業的清消公司來做全面消毒。」

因為學校裡有教職員，與確診者足跡重疊，必須居家隔離，校方隨即啟動預防性居家隔離，曾接觸的3個班級90位學生停課5天，還有某幼兒園是預防性停課，其中19名幼生預防性居家隔離]，文山區這所國中，全校有將近1300名學生，除了停課，還有10位學生請防疫假，學校也將安排線上課程，以維護學生受教權。
