14 New COVID-19 Cases Reported Within Greenwich Public Schools

GREENWICH, CT — For nearly two months, Greenwich Public Schools reported single digit COVID-19 case increases in each update; the district's case tracker updates every Tuesday and Friday.

But since Thanksgiving, there has been a change in the trend.

On Nov. 30, 10 new cases were reported. On Dec. 3, there were 17. According to the latest numbers on Tuesday, there are 14 new cases.

"Recent history has told us that following holiday breaks, positive cases trend up," said GPS spokesperson Jonathan Supranowitz. "As we have now moved into December and temperatures drop, we are reminding our families and staff to continue completing the COVID-19 Symptom Self Checklist each morning and to stay home if they exhibit symptoms. While positive cases are trending upward in the Greenwich community, everyone at GPS is doing their best to keep children safely in school."

There are currently 32 active cases affecting 11 schools. Greenwich High School has the most active cases with seven. Windrose, New Lebanon School and Glenville School are the only schools in the district without an active case, as of Tuesday afternoon.

Twenty-one of the 32 cases can be attributed to coming from outside activities or family members; the remaining 11 are undetermined.

A majority of the 32 cases are students at 26, along with four teachers, a service provider and a non-teaching staff member.

To date, the district has experienced 184 COVID-19 cases since school began on Sept. 1.
