Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza has been out sick this week with a non-coronavirus related sinus infection, officials said Wednesday.

The head of the nation’s largest school system has been absent from Department of Education headquarters in Manhattan — and the mayor’s daily COVID-19 briefings — since Monday to comply with a city advisory to stay home when ill, a spokeswoman said.

“The past few days, the Chancellor has followed City guidance to stay home if he was feeling sick, and he will be returning to work tomorrow,” said DOE spokeswoman Miranda Barbot. “He urges students and staff to follow the same precaution.”

Carranza first began experiencing symptoms on Sunday and was checked by a doctor who diagnosed him with a routine sinus infection, according to the DOE.

He did not have symptoms suggestive of coronavirus, the DOE said.

The Education Department has urged students, parents and staff to remain home if sick while the rapidly spreading coronavirus crisis unfolds.

Pressure to shutter the city’s massive school system has swelled in recent days but City Hall has said closures are not imminent.

Any specific school linked to a possible coronavirus exposure will be temporarily shuttered, according to the DOE.

No city students have tested positive for coronavirus.

Officials have noted that many city parents depend on operational schools in order to attend and maintain their employment.
