The Tamaqua Area School District reported a COVID-19 case on Thursday.

The individual is a student at Tamaqua Elementary School and has not been in school for over a week, according to superintendent Ray Kinder’s letter dated Nov. 12.

“The school district has utilized protocols from the Department of Health, collected data, and analyzed factors of transmission,” Kinder said in the letter. “After this consultation, it was determined that no additional individuals will need to quarantine.

“We continue to encourage you to follow all safety protocols. Individuals should not attend group functions, interact without face coverings, nor engage in large gatherings. The spread of this virus is dependent upon people to interact and have unnecessary contact. It is up to us to eliminate that possibility.

Should you have any questions or concerns I ask that you reach out to any central office or building administrator,” Kinder said.
