Close contacts were identified, including 64 students and four staff who have since been placed in quarantine, says the release division’s website. Irvine School is currently on spring break and the division says it will return to in-person learning following the Easter break. “We continue to focus on preventing the spread of COVID-19 and have directed our custodian team to conduct enhanced cleaning protocols of the school,” the releases says. “The additional cleaning will focus on areas where the individual was present along with our continuous attention to high touch areas and surfaces throughout the facility.” The division says siblings and families of the close contacts do not need to self-isolate, but they are asked to monitor for COVID-19 symptoms using the division’s Student Illness Guide, which can be found online. 7-6
