LEBANON — A total of 41 Lebanon City Schools students have begun to quarantine after a second student tested positive for COVID-19, according to our news partner WCPO.
Initially, 21 students had been quarantined after the first positive test announced on Tuesday. The second test resulted in the other 20 going into quaratine.
“I want to commend our staff for the rapid response in both of these cases,” superintendent Todd Yohey said. “Our decision to hire our own contact tracer is proving to be the difference in waiting several days for notification. In both cases, we had all communications and quarantine information out within hours.”
According to a news release found by WCPO, both students who tested positive were asymptomatic.
The district began in-person classes Monday with a hybrid in-person/online model.
As of Wednesday, no staff members have been quarantined.
