TYLER, Texas — As of now, there is only one reported case of the coronavirus in Gregg County. However, the Diocese of Tyler school system announced they will be taking a precautionary measure since many of the families have traveled throughout the country and Europe over spring break.
Spring break for all schools of the Diocese of Tyler has been extended until March 20. Parish and school administrators will continue to monitor and assess the situation as things unfold and will update the school community as decisions are being made.
"Although we understand that this decision may place a burden upon families who must seek childcare for one more week, we believe that dealing proactively with the issue of COVID-19 as families returning from extended travel over spring break is the appropriate thing to do under the circumstances," Superintendent Robin Perry said.
