ACPS COVID-19 UPDATE

The Allegany County Public School system is reporting one case of COVID-19 in a staff member and four cases in students who were within an Allegany County school. These individuals will complete the required isolation period, before returning to their school buildings. Contact tracing revealed no close contact at school in any of these cases and no need to quarantine students or staff as a result. Parents were notified through the ACPS Blackboard notification system if there was a positive case in their child’s school building. ACPS had two staff members who were reported as quarantined this week, due to either a close contact with a positive person, or COVID-like illness. Fifty-four students were also quarantined this week, and for the same reasons.
