2 More Coronavirus Cases At Guilford High School: Superintendent

GUILFORD, CT — There are two more COVID-19 cases in Guilford schools, brining the total number of positive cases to 6.

Schools superintendent Dr. Paul Freeman confirmed for Patch that the district was notified about a case Wednesday, and another one on Thursday, at Guilford High School.

Freeman said contract tracing by the Guilford Health Department identified a "small number of students" as having had close contact with the student who tested positive yesterday. No staff or faculty have been identified as "close contacts," he said.

Last week, Freeman reported two cases; one at Guilford Lakes and the other at Melissa Jones elementary schools.

The first positive case at Guilford High School was reported in late September and in mid-October, another case was reported at the high school, which later was deemed a false positive.

In late October, a case was found at Guilford Lakes and the students in that child's class began remote learning.
