Glastonbury Public Schools COVID-19 Dashboard
Glastonbury Public Schools will provide transparent and accurate data on COVID-19 cases in our schools. We will also maintain student and staff member privacy.
This dashboard will be updated daily by 9 am.
Cases and quarantines come and go regularly based on critical dates (date symptoms appeared, test dates, last contact, etc.). The dashboard is kept accurate. Please know this data is trustworthy.
A case is removed from the list once they are cleared to return to school or work per CDC guidelines.
Students or staff who are eLearning or eTeaching entirely from home will not be included in the report unless they are also physically participating in school or district activities.
The numbers listed for people in quarantine indicate people who were in direct contact with someone who tested positive.
Any Glastonbury Public Schools student or staff member who tests positive for COVID-19 will isolate at home. We will notify our town health department. We will also notify staff and parents when there is a positive case of COVID-19 in their school.
Contact tracing will follow each positive test result. Anyone in direct contact with the person who tested positive (less than 6 feet for more than 15 minutes and certain other types of contact of less than 15 minutes in the last 2 days) will be notified and will need to quarantine for 14 days as well.
