COVID-19 OUTBREAKS:
As defined and identified by the Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH,) a school outbreak of COVID-19 is three or more students or staff who have tested positive for COVID-19 within a 14-day period; and:
- Could have had some close contact such as in a classroom or on a school sports team;
- Do not live in the same household; and
- Were not identified as close contacts of each other in another setting during a Public Health case investigation (e.g. friends who play together in each other’s homes).
If an outbreak is identified by MCDPH, the entire campus will be notified. Outbreaks are considered closed or over after 28 days (i.e., two 14-day COVID-19 incubation periods) have passed without a new case linked to the school outbreak.
