A look at COVID Numbers Across the LLCA Service Area:
Our current data from the CDC has the following counties, as of 1/20/22, at the following Covid-19 positivity rate:
Rutherford - 34.52%
Polk - 32.71%
Henderson - 31.03%
We are fortunate that this variant is not as aggressive as the Delta variant. However, this variant remains far more contagious. With our beautiful snow, we are hopeful that it gave everyone a chance to laugh, relax and naturally stay at home! Hopefully, this will help reduce our rates. Other ways to reduce rates here in school are to encourage proper handwashing and/or sanitizing, proper mask-wearing, (not under the nose and not on the chin), and continuing to maintain a social distance of three feet apart in school.
Families, we appreciate your support as we all work hard to keep our students safe and in school. LLCA follows guidelines from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services through our Strong Schools Toolkit, below.
Note that LLCA offers COVID tests at school - the rapid test and the PCR test. For more information contact Nurse Redmon at [email protected] or by calling the school at (828) 625-9292.
