COVID-19 Situational Update
As of February 27, 2020, there were 78,497 reported cases in China and 3,797 cases in locations outside China. In addition to sustained transmission in China, there is evidence of community spread in several additional countries. CDC has updated travel guidance to reflect this information
To date, there has been limited spread of COVID-19 in the United States. As of February 26, 2020, there were a total of 61 cases within the United States, 46 of these were among repatriated persons from high-risk settings. The other 15 cases were diagnosed in the United States; 12 were persons with a history of recent travel in China and 2 were persons in close household contact with a COVID-19 patient (i.e. person-to-person spread). One patient with COVID-19 who had no travel history or links to other known cases was reported on February 26, 2020, in California. The California Department of Public Health, local health departments, clinicians, and CDC are working together to investigate this case and are identifying contacts with whom this individual interacted.
On February 26th the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services distributed a news release across the state asking Nebraskans with travel in the past 14 days to countries with community transmission of COVID-19 to contact their local health departments (http://dhhs.ne.gov/Pages/DHHS-Asking-Nebraskans-With-Travel-in-Past-14-Days-to-Countries-With-Community-Transmission-of-COVID-19-to-Contact-Local-HD.aspx). SCHD along with State and Federal partners are implementing measure, such as self-reporting to local health departments, to slow and contain transmission of COVID-19 in the U.S. SCHD is assessing, monitoring and providing guidance to travelers arriving from these areas.
If confirmed cases should arise, SCHD has systems in place to track and monitor individuals whom have come in contact with the confirmed cases to help identify secondary cases and minimize the potential for ongoing, undetected, person-to-person transmission.
We are continuing to encourage all our community partners (i.e. County and City offices, schools, businesses, etc.) to take action now to be prepared for the possibility of community spread of COVID-19. We have suggested that all businesses review and update their pandemic flu plans and/or continuity of operations plans. Additionally, we are encouraging partners to begin to think about non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) that could be implemented to help slow the spread of illness.
More information for businesses can be found on the CDC website at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/specific-groups/guidance-business-response.html.
More information on non-pharmaceutical interventions can be found on the CDC website at https://www.cdc.gov/nonpharmaceutical-interventions/index.html

Coronavirus Update Sent to Parents - Mar. 8, 2020
Given new information, I am sending another Coronavirus update for PCS. You might have heard about a woman that tested positive for the Coronavirus and was present at the Special Olympics event in Fremont, NE on Feb. 29, 2020. An Omaha World-Herald article about the topic is available at http://bit.ly/2IsxhAA. It has been confirmed by PCS school officials that a student from our district was present at that event. The student returned to school from March 2 to March 6 and was exposed to students and staff members. Given the sensitive nature, I ask that anyone with knowledge of our student respect the confidentiality of the child and the family. Based on information from the Sarpy County/Cass County Health Department, the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, and others, it seems consistent that there are many “unknowns,” due to the novelty of this disease. Information about the Coronavirus and how you can help prevent spreading the disease is available at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/prevention-treatment.html. Out of concern for the safety and health of anyone that might have been exposed in our district, classes with be cancelled from Mon., Mar. 9 through Thu., Mar. 12. Students were not scheduled to be in session on Fri., Mar. 13. We are also cancelling all activities and practices from now until Mar. 15. Buildings will also be closed for use by outside groups for that same time period. This will also allow our custodial staff to complete additional deep cleaning in our facilities. During the week of Mar. 9-13, building administrators will be communicating remotely with certified staff members about working from home to develop plans for continuing learning in future short-term or long-term closures of this nature. We also plan to reduce public access to the administration center. At this time, we plan to proceed with our Board of Education meetings that are scheduled for Mon., Mar. 9, including our workshop at 6:00 PM and our regular meeting at 7:00 PM. I plan to send a status update on Sun., Mar. 15, 2020, unless new information warrants a follow up message sooner than that. We will continue to communicate with the Sarpy County/Cass County Health Department. Thank you for your patience and understanding. A safe and healthy learning environment is a top priority for our students, parents, staff members, and anyone that visits our school district. Superintendent Dr. Richard E. Hasty
