Class at Johnson Elementary School in Bethel under quarantine

A class at Johnson Elementary School in Bethel is under quarantine after one person tested positive for coronavirus on Saturday. The person was last in school on Friday.  A few staff members have also been asked to quarantine.  District officials say there was thorough contact tracing and the town health department determined that the school can remain open.  Superintendent Christine Carver says they are monitoring health conditions of students and staff while implementing mitigation strategies included in the reopening plan.  Routine COVID-19 cleaning and disinfecting procedures have been used, including in specified areas over the weekend.  She asked that families conduct daily health screenings for symptoms before sending students to school or any extracurricular programs.  About a fifth of students in Bethel are still participating in distance learning, even though some schools have moved to a hybrid model.
