Taylorville High School Reports Staff Member With COVID-19

Taylorville School District has informed Regional Radio News of a teacher at Taylorville High School that has tested positive for COVID-19. The teacher was on campus on Thursday but followed safety guidelines including wearing a mask and maintaining 6 feet of distance. 

 

The Christian County Health Department has determined no students need to be quarantined due to the teachers safety precautions, however, they did come into sustained contact with other staff members who have been directed to quarantine due to exposure. Deep cleaning and sanitation is being completed overnight and it is safe for students to be in the building on Friday.

 

In a press release issued from Superintendent Dr. Chris Dougherty, Dougherty says that this is a perfect case that demonstrates why is it is important that individuals do not congregate with staff members and that each person take responsibility for their own health and safety. Continue to wear masks, wash hands, practice social distancing, clean common areas, and above all else stay home if you are feeling ill.
