Positive COVID-19 Case Reported at Stevens High School

A post from the SAU 6 Facebook page has announced a positive COVID-19 case at Stevens High School in Claremont, New Hampshire.

According to the post, the case, announced on Monday, November 9th, holds no relation to the positive test confirmed at Disnard Elementary School on Saturday.

Reportedly, the student infected did not come into close contact with any students or staff during their infectious period, which SAU 6 attributes to their stringent COVID-19 protocols. Although no students or staff came into contact with the individual on school grounds, it is possible they could have outside of school, and those individuals will be contacted by the Department of Health and Human Services once contact tracing is conducted. If you are contacted, the district asks you to self-quarantine, and contact the school nurse.

The report goes on to state that whenever they are informed of a positive case, additional infection is conducted in the areas where the infected individual may have been. This disinfection has been performed, and due to this, Stevens High will remain open.
