FROM STAFF REPORTS

More than 850 Iredell-Statesville Schools students missed class last week after testing positive for COVID-19, exhibiting symptoms or being deemed a close contact to someone else who tested positive.

A positive test, illness and public health protocols prevented 96 I-SS staff members from working between January 28 and February 3.

The latest data represents a modest improvement, reflecting a decline in Iredell County’s positivity rate, which declined to about 30 percent last week.
