CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Mecklenburg County health officials reported the first COVID-19 cluster identified at a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools facility this week at Bradley Middle School.
Editor's note: The video attached to this story was published on Dec. 13, following CMS' decision to return to full remote learning.
In a press release, CMS said all impacted students and staff were notified last week of confirmed cases or the need to quarantine due to close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19. The district praised its contact tracing process for getting all impacted students and staff members out of the building since being notified of the exposure.
