300 Quarantined Amid COVID-19 Outbreak After Upstate NY Youth Dance Competition “This is our largest cluster, our fastest cluster, and we’re a year into this,” the local county executive said Published April 21, 2021 • Updated on April 21, 2021 at 1:13 pm NBC 5 News Twenty children and teenagers tested positive for COVID-19 and 300 students are under quarantine after dance school students with virus symptoms attended a competition in central New York, county officials said. Multiple students from a dance school in the Utica area participated in a competition Saturday, in nearby Syracuse, despite experiencing symptoms of the illness. The students later tested positive for COVID-19, Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente said at a news conference Tuesday.

The 20 people connected to the dance school cases who have tested positive range from 6 to 17 years old, and are from several school districts, Picente said. The Whitesboro Central School District near Utica resumed in-person learning Wednesday, a day after going fully remote because of the exposures. Superintendent Brian Bellair told the Observer-Dispatch of Utica that he expects about 300 students from a mix of grade levels, including a few entire elementary school classes, to be under quarantine. Picente said the dance school, which he didn’t identify, failed to practice proper pandemic protocols. “Carelessness is preventing us from returning to normal and punishing the people who are doing all the right things,” Picente said.

More than a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, Oneida County has seen its biggest case cluster, County Executive Anthony Picente Jr. said during a briefing Tuesday on the situation. “Multiple” students from a local dance school which Picente declined to name despite widespread social media chatter about the school participated in a competition in Syracuse on Saturday despite the fact that they were experiencing symptoms of illness, Picente said. The students later tested positive for COVID-19, he said. “A year into this, this is our largest cluster, our fastest cluster that has happened,” Picente said. The dance school did not, Picente noted, have a state-mandated plan for high-risk sports.
