Out of an abundance of caution, the Department of Environmental and Conservation Services scrubbed and sanitized the campus overnight, and the school was clean by Thursday morning.
The CDC said MRSA can cause a bacterial staph infection that's transmitted primarily through skin-to-skin contact, as well as surfaces that have been touched by an infected person.
