Ohio County Schools administrators are working with the Wheeling-Ohio County Health Department as a school system staff member has tested positive COVID-19.
Assistant Superintendent Rick Jones said school system administrators learned today that a Triadelphia Middle School staff member has tested positive for COVID-19. The staff member was also involved with the Wheeling Park High School Volleyball Team.
The staff member is following COVID-19 protocol, and team members were sent home. Once the staff member and student athletes have completed the required monitoring with the health department, they will be released from self-isolation or quarantine.
Health department officials have visited Triadelphia Middle School and Wheeling Park High School where cleaning and sanitation has taken place to disinfect areas in which the positive-testing individual had been. Contact tracing is being handled by the health department and follow ups will take place.
