When a student tests positive for COVID-19:

  • HPS will share contact-tracing information with health officials (student schedule & seating charts).
  • Working with OCDPH, HPS will begin communication with students/families who have been in close contact (close contact = 15 cumulative minutes within 6 feet of another person); OCDPH will suggest testing & quarantine.
  • HPS will update this information at the end of each week on the district website.
