Current Active COVID-19 Case Report*

An active case refers to a positive case where an individual is currently quarantining and was in a school facility or participated in a school activity/event while contagious.

Cases are considered resolved when the quarantine period ends.  Resolved cases will then be removed from the active case count.  If a school has to close due to state requirements, the case count will revert to 0 upon student return to that facility.

The quarantine is based on students or staff having to quarantine due to sickness or close contact exposure to an active case.
