Continuing my school COVID-19 updates…Carroll County Public Schools (CCPS) is reporting 144 active cases of COVID-19 on October 27th. These numbers are updated every Wednesday of each week. Here is the breakdown of the numbers this week:

• 136 Students
• 8 Staff

Note: Numbers reflect active confirmed positive cases for each week. As a result, these students and staff are in quarantine.

CCPS is also reporting the “Quarantined” number on their dashboard. This week that number is 407. Last week that number was 340. The week before that number was 478.

Note: Quarantine data reflect the number of individuals required to quarantine because they are a close contact to a Positive COVID-19 case. The quarantine data do not reflect individuals in quarantine because they are COVID positive.

Here is a look at the COVID-19 numbers over the past 8 weeks on the dashboard:
