Staff and students may choose to remain at home during this time as well. The schools are working with county health for testing options for elementary students. We currently have 12 active cases of COVID-19 in the county and four individuals in the hospital. Rooks County has a two-week positivity rate of 13.4% as of 9/25/2021.
