SANFORD, Maine (AP) A pair of schools in southern Maine that are near a growing number of coronavirus outbreaks is transitioning to a fully remote model because of a handful of cases of the virus.

The Portland Press Herald reports Sanford High School and Sanford Regional Technical Center have had at least three cases of coronavirus.

The schools are in York County, the home of an outbreak at the jail that is tied to a larger outbreak stemming from a northern Maine wedding and reception.

Superintendent Matt Nelson says in a letter to the community the schools will be in remote mode for at least two weeks.
