We have not identified anyone else as `close contacts` with these individuals. Close contacts would be someone within 3 ft for at least 15 minutes or more with the infected person. We are taking all of the proper protocols and sanitizing throughout the day. Parents should continue to monitor their child`s health and the health of their families for COVID 19 symptoms. Children with COVID 19 generally have mild, cold like symptoms.
