Information on COVID-19 cases and outbreaks within school buildings will be posted on Wicomico County’s school system website beginning this week.
In a meeting of the school board Tuesday, Superintendent Donna Hanlin announced the school system would begin posting two dashboards – one for confirmed COVID cases in each of Wicomico County’s public schools and another for reported school outbreaks – on its website this week.
“The good news is in Wicomico County right now we do not have any schools with outbreaks,” she told the board. “But we do have schools where cases have been reported, and then those individuals are quarantined. There’s not many, but there are some.”
Last week, the Maryland Department of Health began reporting school outbreaks across the state on its coronavirus website. Hanlin told the public this week that information will be linked on the Wicomico County Board of Education webpage.
