Coronavirus has closed a Melbourne school because of a staff member testing positive for the illness.
Yeshiva-Beth Rivkah College at St Kilda East confirmed on Wednesday a positive test came back for a staff member who returned on flight QF94 from the US on Friday morning.
“As a result, we have closed the school for 24 hours to assess the situation,” the colleges said in a statement.

“We have been in contact with relevant authorities to alert them of the interruption to our program.”
