Positive COVID Case
Hello Salem Family,
We were notified by a parent of a lab-confirmed case of COVID-19 in a member of the Salem community. There is no correlation with this incident and the bus driver testing positive. For privacy reasons, we cannot share details about the status of the person. At this time, they have been advised to stay home and away from other people (isolate).
Since the child's last day in school was Oct. 14th and symptoms did not start until Oct. 18th, no one will need to quarantine. However, you should still monitor for symptoms of illness, but do not need to stay home unless symptoms develop. If symptoms develop, stay home and consult with your health care provider to determine if medical evaluation is needed.
We are working closely with MDH to monitor the situation. For extra precaution, we doing an extra cleaning protocol on the room of this student over the weekend to make sure everything is extra clean.
We are so thankful that our parents are so conscientious about monitoring your student's health and contacting us in such a timely manner. Continue to pray for those who are sick and for those who care for the sick.
If you have questions, contact Mr. Klatt.
Thank you for helping to keep our school community safe.
