On Monday, September 28, the Garretson School District sent out a letter confirming the school district's first COVID-19 case in a student after the start of the school year.
The letter stated that all close contacts of the student have been contacted and encouraged parents to continue monitoring their children for symptoms, including fever or chills, headache, cough, loss of taste or smell, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, sore throat, fatigue, congestion or runny nose, muscle or body aches, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. They ask any student who presents with those symptoms to stay home, and ask the community to work together to help stop the spread.
