He did not confirm whether the infected person was a student, teacher or parent in the school community. "Students will continue to be supported through existing learning from home arrangements while the school is thoroughly cleaned over the weekend," the spokesman said. "NSW Education will continue to work closely with NSW Health to ensure that all necessary health advice is adhered to. Further advice on when the school will resume on-site classes will be provided tomorrow."
On-site classes at Lane Cove West Public School will resume on Friday, after the school was closed for deep cleaning on Thursday.
