SHARON, MA — Sharon Public Schools reported on Monday that a student and a staff member at East Elementary School have tested positive for coronavirus, the district's sixth and seventh new cases since Jan. 5.
According to a letter to families from Superintendent of Schools Meg Dussault, the individuals who tested positive have not been in close contact with anyone in the school community.
"We have been informed of two positive cases of COVID at East, one a staff member, and one a student," said the district in a Twitter post. "The cases are completely unrelated and neither person was in school to infect others."
