Wahkiakum County School District issued the following announcement on Nov. 23.
Wahkiakum County Health and Human Services has notified the School District of a second positive COVID-19 case that is related to the initial case. Both individuals are in self-quarantine, are symptomatic, and the few people that had close contact during the potential infectious period have been contacted and are also isolating.
The Health Department and the School District have worked closely over the past 24 hours and have determined that there is a very low chance of further transmission within the school district outside of this specific cohort. Because of the stringent measures in place within the school district and the fact that both persons were part of a tight cohort on top of the extensive procedures the staff has in place to ensure a safe environment, Wahkiakum School District will remain open and continue to serve kids on campus. There is no known connection to the St James childcare facility.
