Out of an abundance of caution, the teacher was sent home and will not return to work until the 14 day exposure window has passed. The teacher traveled in mid-February and was notified by the cruise line that a small cluster of passengers tested positive for coronavirus.

“Based on what we know about this disease to date, it is extremely unlikely that someone would transmit the virus without having symptoms,” said the district in a message to families and staff Wednesday.

School officials said they do not believe there is a significant risk of students getting sick. BVSD will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates on their website.
