NORWOOD — Norwood-Norfolk Central School will remain in remote learning for the next two days as it deals with its second positive case of COVID-19 in the district.

In a statement to the school community, NNCS Superintendent Jamie Cruikshank said that the person who tested positive had not been in the district for a number of days and the contact with the first case was made outside of school.
