To prevent further spread of the disease, Sumner Attendance Center is taking the following steps: Placing staff members and students who are identified as having prolonged close contact with the COVID-19 case in quarantine for 14 days. Close contacts will also receive a separate notification from the Lawrence County Health Department. Ongoing monitoring of students and staff for signs and symptoms of illness and evaluation of illness reports to promptly identify possible outbreaks.
