Coronavirus: 2 More Brookfield HS Community Members Test Positive

BROOKFIELD, CT — Two more members of the Brookfield High School community tested positive for coronavirus, Superintendent John Barile announced Wednesday. The affected people have been instructed to remain home and isolate for 10 days.

The last day the affected people were at Brookfield High School was Nov. 10.

"At this time, we have not received any other reports of students or staff members experiencing illnesses with symptoms resembling those of COVID-19," Barile said in an email to families on Wednesday.

Anyone who is considered a "close contact" with the infected community members has been contacted by now or will be contacted very soon and provided with instructions on the appropriate steps to take, which includes quarantine for 14 days, according to Barile.

All Brookfield schools switched full remote learning last Wednesday, and are scheduled to return to the hybrid attendance model on Dec. 7.

"As the health metrics continue to change we will closely monitor the COVID-19 data trends in collaboration with the Brookfield Health Department and our District Medical Advisor," Barile said.
