Multiple COVID-19 Cases Confirmed at Dover High School
Despite most of the school practicing remote learning, parents and other members of Dover High School were informed this week of three positive COVID-19 cases within the school, according to an email sent to parents that was shared with The Current on Thursday.
The email, sent by Dover Superintendent William Harbron, stated that two positive cases were known as of Monday and a third was identified on Wednesday. All three cases are connected, the email said.
High school students have been mostly engaged in remote learning since the start of the school year, but some students enrolled in the school's Career Technical Center (CTC) have been participating in on-site learning.
According to the district's website, as of October 13 students from 14 CTC programs have been split into two "cohorts" so they can physically access the school's on-site resources twice a week. All three positive cases are part of the same "cohort," according to the message.
According to the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), 18 new cases of COVID-19 were identified in Strafford County on Wednesday alone.
