ABERDEEN, Miss. (WTVA) - Aberdeen's football team is under quarantine after a positive coronavirus test.

Because the football program only reported one case, the team could have quarantined for only one week.

However, Aberdeen School Superintendent Jeffrey Clay said the district decided to make it a two-week quarantine.

The district is doing a good job combating the pandemic, he said, and will continue to follow its safety plan.

“We just need to continue on the path that we’ve been on since we started school on September 24th.”

He appreciates the support from parents.

“We feel like we’re doing what we need to do to ensure the safety of our faculty and staff, and most importantly, our students and community.”
