COVID-19 DATA DASHBOARD

Suspect Case: Multiple symptoms present with no direct contact link and no confirmed laboratory testing performed for SARS-CoV-2

Probable Case: Meets clinical criteria AND epidemiologic linkage with no confirmatory laboratory testing performed for SARS-CoV-2; OR meets presumptive laboratory evidence AND either clinical criteria OR epidemiologic linkage; OR meets vital records criteria with no confirmatory laboratory evidence for SARS-CoV2.

Confirmed Case: Meets confirmatory laboratory evidence. NOTE: Asymptomatic infections are reportable as confirmed cases.

Active Case: An active COVID-19 case is an individual that has been confirmed as testing positive for COVID-19 by the Delaware General Health District. An active case also includes an individual who is still in isolation or still contagious, and someone who is epidemiologically linked to a confirmed case and showing symptoms. ​

Case Contact: Someone who was within six feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes starting from two days before illness onset OR someone who is within six feet for any amount of time and performing strenuous activity. ​

Exposure: Having come into contact with a case of a particular health problem. ​

Incubation Period: Period of time between exposure to an infection and onset of symptoms. ​

Isolation: The separation of a person reasonably believed to be infected with a communicable disease and potentially infectious from those who are not infected to prevent spread of the disease. Isolation for public health purposes may be voluntary or compelled by federal, state, or local public health order. ​

Quarantine: The separation of a person reasonably believed to have been exposed to a communicable disease but not yet symptomatic from others who have not been so exposed to prevent the possible spread of the disease. Quarantines may be voluntary or compelled by federal, state, or local public health order.

• If a student reports to the school clinic with COVID-like symptoms, Olentangy will send them home and encourage them to stay home until no symptoms are present. ​
• In the event there is a positive COVID-19 case, the Delaware General Health District will hold case contact interviews. ​
• The DGHD determines if a case contact must quarantine, and the length of quarantine. ​
• The Delaware General Health District communicates all quarantines and timelines. ​
• If the individual is on an athletic team or extra-curricular, depending on the number of cases or number of people exposed, a team or group will be required to quarantine. ​
• If an athletic team is told to quarantine, the Athletic Director will send a letter to families through Final Forms with an estimated quarantine end dates for the team.

The district will provide case notification to staff and parents in a specific classroom, in the impacted Hybrid attendance track, when a positive case is identified. The health district will follow up with individuals who are considered close contacts to alert them to monitor for symptoms. The district will also provide a notification to all parents in the impacted building each time a positive case is confirmed, similar to other contagious diseases.

Notification of positive cases in the Committed Distance Learning program will not be directly communicated within the CDL classroom and community, as these individuals do not attend school in person. However, these cases will be included in building notifications and in the overall count of active cases district-wide as reported on this page.

Notification of positive cases in athletic, extra-curricular or co-curricular programs will be provided to the impacted families of the students and their corresponding teams, clubs or groups.

The Olentangy community included in our pool for active cases is everyone employed by our district and enrolled in our district. Active cases are comprised of active confirmed cases, probable cases and suspect cases, reported to the district by the Delaware Public Health District, Franklin County Public Health and Columbus Public Health.

The quarantine numbers on Olentangy's dashboard are reported by the DPHD and encompass all exposures regardless of where it took place.

The Ohio Department of Health and media are reporting cumulative cases. This dashboard is a snapshot of the most accurate, current case numbers on the date that it is updated.
