The State of Michigan announced additional cases of the COVID-19 virus in our state. These new numbers include the staff member from Whitmore-Bolles. The Wayne County Public Health Division has determined that the staff member was NOT contagious while in the building therefore, your child was not exposed to the COVID-19 virus.
Local health departments in Michigan work directly with those who have been identified with the virus to investigate the possibility of any further spread of the COVID-19 virus.
The Communicable Disease Unit at Wayne County determines who might have had exposure to those individuals with a positive test and contacts those whom they feel may have had contact. Wayne County does not test any individuals who do not exhibit symptoms.
Part of their guidelines in determining risk factors include: did the person display symptoms while in contact with others. Also, proximity and duration with other individuals.
“We appreciate the support and expert guidance we have received from Wayne County in handling this situation,” commented Dearborn Public Schools Superintendent Glenn Maleyko.
Crews are completing the cleaning of Whitmore-Bolles on Friday, and since the building will be closed until April 13, 2020 there is no reason to believe that the school will not be ready for staff and students when they return.
For anyone who may have further questions or concerns they can reach out to the Wayne County Public Health Department COVID19 information line at (734) 287-7870.

My daughter gsrp class in Whitmore-Bolles school does she need any blood test
Thank you for sharing. With the kids being off for the next 3 weeks are there any tasks or studying that we should be working on while they are off? I know that other schools have sent home packets for the kids. I have been able to find some “workbook” type activities online but I was just wondering if there was anything specific we should focus on. Thanks in advance.
Look on here I will be post some activities for the students.
According to the information I have the students were not exposed to COVID-19. Here is the districts press release
