CHICAGO — A special education classroom assistant with Chicago Public Schools has “presumptively” tested positive for coronavirus, city officials announced Friday night.
The infected CPS employee, who is a woman in her 50s and now the 6th coronavirus patient in Illinois, works at Vaughn High School in Portage Park. Classes next week have been canceled, city officials said.
Officials are working to find out whom the employee came in contact with after returning from a cruise in California in late February. The last time she was at work for CPS was March 2, officials said.
Also on Friday, the fifth confirmed coronavirus patient in Illinois was discharged from the hospital and allowed to go home to quarantine.
