New Covid-19 Rules

According to the latest Covid-19 update from Governor Justice, the state needs to quickly turn around the growing number of Covid-19 related illness outbreaks and deaths. This will directly affect GWHS students and staff, as well as the surrounding communities.

These areas are affected:

Sports:

All winter sports will be postponed to January 11.

Thanksgiving Break:

All WV schools will be closed in all 55 counties for seven days following the previously scheduled Thanksgiving break from November 26-December third, including both public and private schools.

State Businesses:

All state businesses must require and enforce staff and customers to wear face masks in all businesses as of midnight 11/13/20. Children under nine and those with prohibitory health conditions are exempt. Patrons are allowed to temporarily remove their masks for eating.

Conclusion:

Hopefully, these news rules will help to slow down the spread of the virus. Please continue to social distance, wear your mask and wash your hands frequently.

Stay safe, everyone!
