CLIFTON, TX — A Clifton ISD student who was at football practice has tested positive for COVID-19.
The school district says the student has not returned to district property since testing positive and last had contact on campus with students and staff on Friday, August 7.
Superintendent Andy Ball says based on the timeline, the most recent state guidance and guidance from the district's attorney, the student was most likely not infectious while at practice. District personnel also determined through a conversation with the student that they were not in close contact with any students or staff while at practice. The district has been advised that practices may continue.
For precautionary reasons, any person who attended football practice on August 7 should monitor their health for signs of symptoms, follow the CDC guidelines for people who had close contact with a positive COVID-19 case and contact a doctor if they develop symptoms.
Ball says the district will be taking steps to sanitize any school facilities where the individual recently accessed as well as monitor the situation and provide additional information as needed.
