Tamaqua School District reports more COVID-19 cases Wednesday

The Tamaqua Area School District reported 2 more COVID-19 cases on Wednesday.

“One is a high school student and the other a middle school staff member,” superintendent Ray Kinder said in a letter addressed to district families.

“Both individuals are now in isolation and doing well. The cases are unrelated. All other personal information related to the individuals is strictly confidential.”

Wednesday’s positives were announced 1 day after the district reported Tuesday that a high school student had COVID-19, which brings the weekly districtwide total to 3 cases.

“The school has communicated throughout the day with members of the department of health collecting data, analyzing factors of transmission and developing recommendations,” Kinder noted.

“After this consultation, it was determined that no additional individuals were identified as being at risk and quarantine is not recommended for anyone else related to the school setting. The timing of testing and symptoms are the major factors that have allowed us to avoid additional quarantined individuals.”
