The teacher began to feel ill over the weekend, got tested, and did not go to school Monday.

The case was reported to the Southeast District Health Department, which then began their process of contract tracing.

Parents of students in the teacher's classroom were then notified. After that, all parents and staff were notified that an elementary teacher tested positive.

At the time of the release, no students were being required to quaranteine.

Quarantine will only be required if a student or staff member is requested to do so by the Southeast District Health Department, or by a medical doctor.
