The district was informed a high school student had tested positive for the virus.
That information was posted on the district’s website by the superintendent’s secretary Teresa Dinsmoore.
A positive case was also detected in the district last week in a high school staff member.
Students who were in close contact with the student who tested positive have been identified and provided with quarantine instructions.
The district is working with Ann Hepfer, who is the health officer for both the Huron County Health Department and the Tuscola County Health Department, in addressing the issue and in doing contact tracing.
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services will be expanding access to COVID-19 rapid testing in K-12 public schools to protect students, teachers and staff from COVID-19.
