    District staff will be providing test results to students and staff and will be sharing the Erie County Department of Health  fact sheet COVID-19: Quarantine vs. Isolation. A priority message: If someone has a positive test, they need to follow the instructions on the fact sheet which is to go home immediately and ISOLATE, and their household needs to QUARANTINE.

    ECDOH contact tracers will be in touch with individuals who have a positive test result or their parent/guardian but that make take time. Isolation and quarantine are crucial to breaking the chain of disease transmission in our community.
