The Yallahs High School in St Thomas will be suspending face-to-face classes this week after a student tested positive for COVID.
The school says the student last attended classes on January 15 after displaying what appeared to be sinus issues.
This means the incubation period would have now ended.
However, the student has two siblings who continued to attend school.
The authorities will be using the week to do deep cleaning and santising.
In the meantime, all classes will now be online.
In September, the school also had to be closed for deep cleaning after a teacher tested positive for the virus.
