No. We will communicate with relevant groups based on who would have had contact with the student or adult who has tested positive. While we will maintain patient privacy as per HIPAA guidelines, we will always keep you informed of any suspected or positive COVID-19 cases that could impact your family.
Upon notification of a positive case and with guidance from local health officials, Darlington will engage in a contact tracing investigation to determine which members of our school community might have had close contact with the person who tested positive. Darlington is certified in contract tracing, the key strategy for preventing further spread of COVID-19. Families in this situation will be contacted individually.
