2) Positive Case
Families, we have one confirmed positive COVID case in the district. At this time, all individuals who are identified as close contacts have been notified by a representative from the MSD of Martinsville and asked to quarantine. Additionally, parents of any student who was in the same class space as the positive individual and is not a close contact will receive an additional notification email. We are following the Board of Health recommendations for Morgan County and the State of Indiana by isolating the individual who has tested positive and quarantining close contacts for the appropriate amount of time. Please know that we are working hard to ensure the safety of our students and staff during this time.
A gentle reminder to keep students at home if: (1) your student(s) is a close contact of someone who tests positive for Covid-19, (2) your student(s) has been in close contact with somebody who is waiting for test results, (3) your student is waiting for test results, (4) anyone in your immediate household is experiencing potential Covid-19 symptom(s), (5) your student exhibits any Covid-19 related symptom(s).
Covid-19 Symptoms include:
Fever 100.0+
Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Diarrhea
Headache
Nausea or vomiting
Sore throat
Muscle pain or fatigue
Chills
New loss of taste or smell
