TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — The Vigo County School Corporation has updated their COVID-19 Dashboard. Fifteen of the district’s 27 brick and mortar schools have no active cases at this time, though there have been significant increases in the number of students and staff members actively quarantining.
Additionally, VCSC reported today that a student at West Vigo Middle School has tested positive for COVID-19. VCSC is working with the Vigo County Health Department and assisting contact tracers as they identify any close contacts.
The dashboard shows:
- 12 student positives with campus contact in the last 14 days, up from 10 last week.
- 12 staff positives with campus contact in the last 14 days, up from 6 last week.
- 202 students actively quarantined, up from 157 last week.
- 55 staff actively quarantined, up from 25 last week.
The district also released information about active positive cases and active quarantines, information which is used internally and by the COVID-19 Task Force to make decisions. These numbers tally cases and quarantines regardless of whether the person was on campus during their infectious period.
The additional data also shows 12 active cases at the elementary level, 3 active cases at the middle school level, and 9 active cases at the high school level, when combining student and staff cases.
VCSC superintendent Dr. Robert Haworth discusses the numbers in the video above.
