Ethan alexander - senior pv "the school has put everyone around the student that was in the classroom on quarantine so all the people around him have been quarantined so i think that will immediately solve the problem.

Senior ethan alexander says he couldn't be happier to be at school for his last year and isn't too concerned with just one positive case.

"yeah i don't think people should be very scared with one case, maybe if it gets to 10 or 20 maybe, but i don't think with one case."

Alexander added all his classmates are taking covid serious... keeping their masks on... social distancing as much as they can..
