(KNZA)--Hiawatha Middle School parents are being alerted of possible exposure to COVID-19.
Word of the possibility comes in a release from the Brown County office of the Northeast Kansas Multi-County Health Departments, which says the office "has been advised that both a student and a parent who have both tested positive with COVID-19 attended the Hiawatha Middle School Back-to-School Night," held Tuesday.
The release clarifies that the parent and student are unrelated cases, with that student also in attendance at school Wednesday morning.
The release notes that the health department is "advising families that also attended Back-to-School Night...and/or had students in school on [Wednesday] to monitor for any symptoms that may be related to COVID-19," adding that those who have been tested but have not received a negative confirmation should not attend work, school, or other public events, until contacted with the testing results.
Those who are positive will receive a phone call from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, or the Brown County health office.
