*Numbers include some students who were directly exposed the week of April 5-9, 2021, that completed the contact tracing form after 12:20 p.m. April 9, 2021.
These statistics include students and staff who were:
- Isolated due to a diagnosis of COVID-19 or quarantined due to direct exposure to an individual with COVID-19
- Scheduled to attend in-person for school, athletics, or activities during the time they were diagnosed with COVID-19
- Exposed to COVID-19 either in our out of school
Statistics DO NOT mean:
- The individual was in person during the time they were contagious
- All individuals wer directly exposed at a school function.
Additional Context
- Schools opened for staff on August 10, 2020.
- District 202 has about 3,200 employees and about 25,000 students in total.
- For each diagnosed case and case of direct exposure, the individual staff member or student must quarantine for 10-14 days or longer depending on symptoms, resulting in higher number of missed days of work or in-person learning
- "Direct exposure" means, being within 6 feet of a person with COVID-19 for more than 15 minutes, living in the same household as someone with COVID-19, or having extended exposure over a period of time with someone with COVID-19
- Based on current Will and Kendall County Health Department guidance, two positive COVID-19 cases in the same group is considered an “outbreak.” Such groups must quarantine for 10-14 days from the last date of exposure to an individual who is diagnosed. This time frame can extend beyond the typical 10-14 days depending on the number of individuals diagnosed and the last date the group of individuals was together
