MEDICAL LAKE, Wash. — A staff member in the Medical Lake School District has tested positive for COVID-19.
The district announced it will closed on Monday, March 16, in accordance with Washington Gov. Jay Inslee's decision to close schools statewide until at least April 24.
District leaders said the staff member spent time prior to showing symptoms at both Hallett Elementary School and Medical Lake High School as a robotics team adviser.
The health district is recommending that anyone in those locations over the past two weeks pay close attention for flu-like symptoms.
It is not yet known if this positive test is related to the three cases that were announced today in Spokane at the Regional Health District's press conference.
