A Trigg County Middle School student has tested positive for COVID-19.
District Superintendent Bill Thorpe announced the case Friday afternoon and said cleaning and sanitizing classrooms and other common areas were completed.
Thorpe added the case information had been provided to the Trigg County Health Department to conduct contact tracing.
The district has been cleaning and disinfecting the building many times a day. Thorpe said students and staff would continue wearing masks, practicing social distancing, encouraging the practice of regularly washing and sanitizing hands, and other safety measures to mitigate the spread.
Thorpe reminds parents not to send their children to school if they have a temperature of 100.4 or above, have a new persistent cough, are vomiting or have diarrhea, form a new rash, or have been exposed to COVID-19 within the past 48 hours.
After hearing the concerns, Thorpe said the district is doing everything they are supposed to be doing.
Currently, the district has two positive COVID-19 cases among students, and 19 are in quarantine. There are also seven staff members COVID-positive or in quarantine.
The school district recently mourned the loss of high school science teacher Simone Parker, who died of COVID-19 complications on January 2. Thorpe said student and staff case numbers doubled while the district was in virtual-only instruction in November and December.
During the meeting, Thorpe also told the board, staff will begin receiving the Moderna vaccine Thursday, January 21. The Trigg County Health Department will administer the vaccines.
