Number of isolating/quarantining students and staff in DCSD has slight increase

Due to increased county COVID-19 positivity rates, Decorah Community School District will be sharing district data daily at least through Thanksgiving break.

In Wednesday's data, the number of both staff and students currently isolating or quarantining increased slightly.  The data now shows 8 staff members and 68 students in this category. The Winneshiek County overall positivity rate rose from 15.9% to 16.3%.

Decorah Superintendent Mark Lane thanks the community for always wearing a mask, washing hands frequently, staying home when sick, and minimizing interactions away from home and school.
