After the Weilheim health department reported a corona case at the Schongau Welfen-Gymnasium on Tuesday afternoon, further details are now known.
A student from the Schongau Welfen-Gymnasium has tested positive for the corona virus.
50 students are currently in quarantine as a precaution.
Teachers who may have had contact with the sick pupil also stayed at home for the time being.
"The cooperation with the health department is going very well," said Bernhard O'Connor, headmaster at the Schongauer Welfen-Gymnasium, on Wednesday when asked by Schongauer Nachrichten.
Around 50 students are currently in quarantine.
On the one hand, the entire class of the sick student is affected.
However, because some classes are taught across different classes, another subgroup of the same grade is in quarantine as well as students from different grade levels who all attend the same elective.
Depending on when the students last had lessons together, the
quarantine runs until the middle or the end of the week
after
next.
Teachers are voluntarily in quarantine
The student lists with all the necessary data have been passed on to the health department, according to O'Connor.
The health department also has a list of teachers who taught the student.
These teachers were voluntarily in quarantine yesterday
, now it is being determined in discussions who had how much contact with the student and who should possibly stay at home.
On Wednesday, three new corona cases from Schongau, Polling and Oberhausen were reported to the health department.
One is a close contact person for someone who has already tested positive, while the other two are still under investigation.
It is not the first time that a
positive Corona case
has occurred
at a facility in the district
.
In September, the kindergarten in Bernbeuren had to close temporarily because a child had tested positive for the virus.
In Peißenberg, too, secondary school students had to be quarantined after a classmate was infected.

supplementary budget
on Monday
