https://www.wkrn.com/special-reports/keeping-schools-safe/5000-students-staff-in-4-tennessee-school-districts-quarantined/NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) Nearly 1,500 students and staff contracted COVID-19 last week, according to the Tennessee Dept. of Health.
The states COVID-19 school dashboard shows about a thousand students tested positive for the virus last week, in addition to the more than 700 the week before, and staff totaling about 800 in the last two weeks.
But the numbers were not seeing are the number of students and staff quarantined due to exposure. Looking at just four of the biggest school districts in Middle Tennessee, thats more than 5,000.
We saw a spike the third week of October when we were coming out of fall break. I think a lot of people saw that, said James Evans, a spokesperson for Rutherford County School District.
