Go Home and Stay Home: Fung Urges Cranston West Students to Take Quarantine Seriously

Cranston Mayor Allan Fung is urging Cranston West High School students to heed the recently issued 14-day self-quarantine, after a student tested positive for coronavirus -- and Fung said he had heard reports some students might not be taking the quarantine seriously. 

In a message from City Hall on Saturday, Fung implored students to stay home.

"Over the past 24 hours, I’ve been hearing that not everyone at Cranston West is taking the Department of Health quarantine seriously, and this needs to stop now," said Fung. "This is your first global pandemic to Cranston? Guess what, it’s mine, too."

"This crazy new virus appears to be very contagious, and if you have it, it can hop off of you, and on to your grandparents, or friends with weakened immune systems, and they could be in a lot of health trouble," he went on to say. 

"Go home, and stay home for the remainder of the 13 days," said Fung. "You even have my permission to sleep in."
