5 photos from schools that have reopened show a disaster in the making

The Corinth School District announced that six students and one faculty member tested positive for the coronavirus after going back to school.

As a result, 116 people were asked to quarantine due to close contact — or being within six feet of a positive case for more than 15 minutes. The district does not intend to reverse reopening plans.

Elsewhere in Mississippi, a middle school teacher died while self-quarantining with coronavirus symptoms. He did have contact with students and teachers before his death. The situation has stoked fears that an outbreak at the middle school is on the horizon, according to Mississippi Today.

The photo above shows elementary school students exiting a bus. School transportation, although necessary, has been noted as potentially problematic for school reopenings.

Insider's Gabby Landsverk previously reported that the local school district stated that wearing a mask is a "personal choice," and while it has been encouraged, it has not been mandated.

In a different Georgia district, 260 school employees have already been asked to quarantine.

Kids are just as likely to get and transmit the coronavirus as adults, and it's evident as they return to classrooms.

Roughly 65 school districts in Tennessee have reopened — and 39 of them have already reported coronavirus cases, according to the Tennessean. Three school districts have already closed schools or adjusted their schedules due to the spread of the virus.

One family in a school district outside Indianapolis, Indiana sent their child to the first of classes without knowing the results of the child's coronavirus test. Positive results came back after the child spent the entire day at school. Elsewhere in Indiana, there have been a few outbreaks, with several testing positive for the virus after schools reopened and many more in quarantine.
