Confirmed Case at School

If a school has a confirmed case of COVID-19, the school will notify the Vanderburgh County Health Department for contact tracing and guidance. The area will be disinfected. Families will be notified according to the guidance of the Vanderburgh County Health Department.

Confirmed Positive COVID-19 Test Protocol

• Parents/guardians are to contact their student’s school to report that their student has tested positive and/or had close contact (within 6 feet for an accumulated time of 15 or more minutes throughout a single day) to another person that has tested positive.

• A student who is identified as a close contact (within 6 feet for an accumulated time of 15 or more minutes throughout a single day) to another individual who has tested positive should quarantine for 14 calendar days.

• School administrators and the school nurse will work with the health department to contact trace and determine possible close contact to other students and staff. If your child meets the health department’s close contact definition (within 6 feet for an accumulated time of 15 or more minutes throughout a single day), you will be contacted.

• All areas used by a person that tested positive for COVID-19 will be cleaned and disinfected (e.g., offices, bathrooms, and common areas) per guidance by local, county and state health departments.
