Taylorville School District is reporting this evening on three separate COVID-19 positive staff cases. Two have been off campus quarantined for over a week and contact tracing reported no exposures. A third staff member worked today but was sent to the health department after learning she had been exposed over the weekend. A rapid test revealed a positive COVID-19 case on that last staff member. They are now quarantined.

After putting the contact tracing plan into action, it was revealed that 7 students along with 1 staff member will have to quarantine for 14 days. Every student who needs to quarantine was contacted by the School District and is advised to follow up with the Christian County Health Department for more information. The District is able to resume classes as planned. 

The school district encourages everyone to wear masks, wash hands, use hand sanitizer, and maintain social distancing. Any employee or student who is not feeling well is encouraged to stay home and contact their health care provider to determine if testing is needed.
