School & Childcare Reporting Information

Use this secure form to report confirmed cases of COVID-19 connected to your school. Download the reference document below as a pdf: School/Childcare Reporting Flowchart for a Confirmed COVID-19 Case.

• Schools should provide WCHD with parent/guardian contact information when reporting. Please do not send us contact information for any minors.
• Please note that a close contact is generally defined as someone who had face-to-face contact with an infected person within 6 feet for at least 15 minutes. There may be exceptions to this criteria in certain cases where the risk of transmission is higher (e.g. contact during high impact sports).
