Sharing of COVID Case Information

What information can a school disclose when someone in the school tests positive for COVID-19?

A school may disclose that someone at the school tested positive for COVID-19, as long as the facts alone or in combination with other information released, do not identify the person. The school may not publicly release the PII of the student such as the student’s name or whether they tested positive for COVID-19. The school may not publicly release the name of a teacher or employee who tested positive for COVID-19.
