Around 24 NEN students have been quarantined by the Nodaway County Health Department in the first month of school, according to a letter that the school posted on Facebook. This includes 23 students who were close contacts, and one who was a known positive case. This accounts for 10% of the student body. Some have been identified as close contact outside of the school, and some have been identified as close contacts within the school.
Close contact is defined as someone who is within six feet for 15 minutes or more.
The school is practicing handwashing, social distancing, masks, frequent cleanings, and having students who are sick stay home. Temperature checks are now done in classrooms, as that yields more accurate readings after students get acclimated to the building.
