When a student tests positive for COVID-19:

The Ottawa County Department of Public Health will confirm test results and contact HPS.

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.
