1 New Coronavirus Outbreak Reported In Oakland County Schools
OAKLAND COUNTY, MI — One Oakland County school was listed among Michigan schools where new outbreaks of the coronavirus have been reported, state health officials said Monday.
Bloomfield Christian Upper School in Bloomfield Hills has reported the one student and one member of its staff have tested positive for the coronavirus, according to the state.
While just one school in Oakland County made the list of sites where new outbreaks have been reported, five Oakland County schools remain on a list of ongoing coronavirus outbreaks, the state said.
Those schools are:
Wass Elementary in Troy
Brandon High School in Ortonville
Rochester High School in Rochester Hills
Oakland University in Rochester
Oakland Schools Technical Campus Northwest in Clarkston
In total, 50 new coronavirus outbreaks were reported in Michigan schools Monday.
It's important to note that a coronavirus outbreak is different than a case. A COVID-19 outbreak is defined as two or more cases with a link by place and time indicating a shared exposure outside of a household.
The information provided by the state on Monday includes K-12, college and university school name, address, number of cases and if the cases involved staff, students or both. Students or staff exposed to COVID-19 outside the school building and are not thought to have spread the virus in the school due to quarantine or self-isolation are not included in the data.
Many factors, including the lack of ability to conduct effective contact tracing in certain settings, may result in underreporting of outbreaks, MDHHS said. This information does not provide a complete picture of school outbreaks in Michigan and the absence of identified outbreaks in a school does not mean it is not experiencing an outbreak.
