SOMERS, NY — A parent of a student at Primrose Elementary School has tested positive for the new coronavirus, according to multiple reports citing a letter sent to families by school officials Friday.

Somers Central School District Superintendent Raymond Blanch said the parent had not visited the school in recent weeks, News 12 Westchester reported. Additionally, both family members and the student have tested negative for the virus officially known as COVID-19 and are currently under quarantine.
