The Early Childhood Center, Lower School, and Middle School of The Ramaz School , a Modern Orthodox Yeshiva Day School in Manhattan, will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, December 10, 2009 due to reports of children becoming ill. The Upper School will remain open, unless additional cases are detected there.
According to the school’s website,
Based on the symptoms that have been reported, the illness appears to be a form of viral gastroenteritis. However, we are still waiting for the results of culture tests, which take several days,
before a final determination can be made by the NYC Department of Health.The New York City Department of Health, Division of Environmental Investigations,
indicated that there were no toxins in the food served in the Lower School and they are now checking
to determine if there was transmission of a virus from any of the food workers.We remind you that anyone who experiences symptoms of projectile vomiting, low grade fever, and
diarrhea should be kept hydrated. In event of any additional symptoms, parents should consult their
pediatricians or their personal doctors.Again, because this is a highly contagious virus, we strongly urge you not to permit your children to go
on play dates or gather in one another’s homes.
