Baldwin-Whitehall School District officials said Wednesday that two people have tested positive for covid-19.
The cases involve second grade at Whitehall Elementary and the high school girls soccer team, according to a district message about the situation.
District communications consultant Carrie Butler could not confirm that evening if they were students or teachers. The district was notified within the past 24 hours.
“In both cases, individuals were isolated and removed from the building/programs as soon as the results were received,” the message read. “The district immediately conducted contract tracing in both of these instances, identifying and contacting any individual that would have been considered a ‘close contact’ with the person that was infected.”
Those impacted were also told to quarantine and provide contact information for district health professionals, according to the message.
Butler said school is expected to go on as scheduled Thursday, and more information may be released at that time.
