More than 250 employees in one Georgia school district are currently not working due to positive coronavirus tests or exposure to those infected.
CNN reported Monday that about 260 employees with the Gwinnett County School District (GCPS), Georgia's largest school district, will not return for work for at least several days due to potential exposure to the virus or a positive diagnosis of COVID-19.
"As of last Thursday, we had approximately 260 employees who had been excluded from work due to a positive case or contact with a case. This number is fluid as we continue to have new reports and others who are returning to work," a spokesperson told CNN.
“Through tracing, we know that the majority of these cases are the result of community spread, meaning we have people who have called in to report who have not been at school or work, the spokesperson told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
