Comal Independent School District said it has stepped up disinfectant treatments at Canyon Middle School after an uptick in COVID-19 cases at the campus.
The 40 active and 217 symptomatic cases at the school, reported on Comal ISDâs COVID-19 page on Tuesday, account for nearly half of both totals, 86 and 394 respectively, throughout the district, which ended its mandatory mask mandate at facilities on March 10.
âFor the two week period between April 19 and May 4, there have been 48 students who have tested positive, most of whom have been asymptomatic,â said Steve Stanford, the districtâs executive communications director, who said 238 students were quarantined after being exposed to those identified as lab-confirmed positive cases.
