As the state has seen a rapid increase in COVID-19 cases, schools have been seeing similar trends.
Some schools in Livingston County have seen surges in cases, but school leaders believe the likelihood of in-school transmission is still low. We haven t seen transmission in schools, Pinckney Superintendent Rick Todd said. It could happen, but we re not seeing that as a root cause. What we re seeing are interactions without protocols where you re seeing that mass spread.
The Detroit Free Press reported on March 17 that the largest portion of new COVID-19 cases in Michigan was school-age children. Natasha Radke, public information officer for the Livingston County Health Department, confirmed the county has seen an uptick in cases among children. She said there have been club- and sports-related cases, including the B.1.1.7 variant, which is more contagious and could be causing the increase in school outbreaks.
