The prep school was closed after a wrestler with lesions on his skin was diagnosed with the virus type 1, a form of the virus that has nothing to do with the sexually transmitted type.

"Five members of the high school’s wrestling team were diagnosed
with herpes simplex virus type I, a form of herpes that is transmitted
when skin comes into contact with open lesions."

Well they should be careful of this. herpes spreads easily on wreslers because of the close contact. But since there are often no herpes symptoms its hard to no who has it. Everyone should continue testing until they have this cleared up. I would hate to see so many kids hurt.
