A fake "breaking news" post has been showing up on some social media platforms today (1/27/20) saying Wapato Schools are closing the rest of this week due to the Coronavirus making its way to the United States. (see photo to the right)  The post makes it appear as though the report is coming from KIMA-TV.  This post is false and a hoax. 

Wapato Public Schools will be open & operating on their normal schedules all week. 

The District has informed KIMA-TV that someone is using their name to perpetrate this hoax.
