School District officials have said that exposure events reflect the state of COVID-19 transmission in the broader community, and that the term ‘exposure’ does not mean that transmission occured in the school setting.
The term ‘cluster’ refers to two or more cases within a 14-day period, with evidence of transmission occuring within the school. ‘Outbreak’ refers to multiple confirmed cases within a 14-day period, with evidence of ongoing transmission occurring within the school and the school medical health officer has determined exceptional measures are required to prevent further transmission of COVID-19.
At this time, LSS has only experienced COVID-19 exposures.
