More positive COVID-19 cases have been reported in an area school district.

Sedalia School District 200 says it has been informed that two people- one at Smith-Cotton High School and one at Parkview Elementary- have tested positive for COVID-19. Each person is in quarantine at home.

Through contact tracing, it was determined that there were no high-risk contacts with either person, so no others are required to quarantine.

As required by current Missouri law, the district has reported these cases to the Pettis County Health Center.

One of the subjects was absent for five days before testing positive. In the other case, with the district’s mandatory mask protocol, students and staff members who encountered them throughout the day are deemed to be at low risk for exposure.

District administrators say: “The health and safety of our students, district families and staff members always will be our primary priority. We remain in contact with the Pettis County Health Center to ensure we are following the best protocols to provide a healthy environment for all.”
