There have been several outbreaks at various high schools across the county, Ansorg said. While most of the outbreaks were related to student athletes, unsanctioned parties and social events also have been a source of virus transmission, he added. In the past two weeks, there have been 59 new cases reported among residents younger than age 18, according to Noozhawk’s data tracking.
