Crookston School District Superintendent Jeremy Olson released information on COVID-19 cases in the district and while they have seen more cases in the last two weeks, there still hasn’t been spread within the school. The information he sent out is below.
As of the time of this email, this is the most current data for Crookston Public Schools for last week.
What we are seeing:
- The number of positives at the high school over the past two weeks has grown to a 2 to 1 ratio over the elementary schools.
- We are currently not seeing transmission in which a positive case triggers additional positive cases in the school setting. To date within the school setting we have quarantined close contacts and not seen an instance where a close contact has resulted in additional positive cases. This low transmission within public schools seems to be a trend throughout the state. What is driving our numbers is the spread outside of the school, so it does appear that current mitigation strategies are working.
- The last two weeks have seen a large increase in positive cases going from 9 cases in two months to 12 additional cases in two weeks for a total of 21.
