美国德州中部康纳利独立学区自8月中开学以来，就爆出51宗确诊病例，另有2教师因染疫而病逝。

据当地媒体报道，于康纳利国中教授6年级社会科学的教师詹斯勒（41岁），在8月28日因染疫而病逝。

詹斯勒病逝前数天，教授7年级社会科学教师麦科米克（59岁）同样染疫不治。目前仍不清楚这两名教师是否曾接种疫苗。

随着教师染疫病逝，这已拉响了疫情警报。为此，康纳利独立学区将关闭当地的5所学校直到9月6日，进行消毒与深度清洁，避免疫情持续扩大。

在这期间，所有课程将以远距授课的方式进行。副校长波特尔伯格表示，自8月18日开学以来，该校已接连爆出51宗确诊病例，而且病例还逐渐呈上升趋势。

尽管尚未发现2教师病逝与确诊病例是否有关联，不过可以明确看见，病毒已从6、7年级的学生群体扩散到全校。

学区管理人霍特则称，学校关闭期间，学区内的所有设施都将进行彻底清洁与消毒，也能让所有患者与接触者都有充裕时间进行隔离与康复。

A School System Closes After 2 Teachers Die Of COVID-19

WACO, Texas — A Central Texas school district closed its schools until after the Labor Day holiday Tuesday after two teachers died last week of COVID-19.

Connally Independent School District officials closed its five suburban Waco schools for the rest of the week after the Saturday COVID-19 death of Natalia Chansler, 41, a sixth grade social studies teacher at Connally Junior High School, said Assistant Superintendent Jill Bottelberghe.

Chansler’s death came days after David McCormick, 59, a seventh grade social studies teacher at Connally Junior High, died of COVID-19, Bottelberghe said.

It was not immediately known if either teacher was vaccinated.

Connally High School football coach Terry Gerik says the Cadets will play La Vega as scheduled Friday night.

The school has had 51 confirmed COVID-19 cases since classes began Aug. 18, Bottelberghe said Monday. She added that more cases had been confirmed in the last few days, but she did not know if any have been directly traced back to Chansler.

“We have not found any correlation” between the two deaths, Bottelberghe said. “They were at two different grade levels even though they worked under the same content area, but we have recognized that there has been an increase in spread as far as throughout our student body at those two grade levels.”

In a Monday email, Superintendent Wesley Holt said the hope “is that the closure and holiday break will provide those who are positive with the virus or exposed to others with the virus, the time to isolate and recover. This closure will also allow time for deep cleaning and sanitizing of all CISD facilities.”

The rolling seven-day average of new daily COVID-19 cases in Texas was 15,400 cases as of Sunday, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The rolling seven-day average of daily COVID-19 deaths in Texas was 200 per day.
