A school district in southeast Iowa’s Marion County will be closed for a couple of days at the start of the upcoming week for thorough cleaning, after an outbreak of COVID-19. According to KCCI, officials with the Twin Cedars Community School District sent out a notice to families stating, “We are sad to report that we have had multiple staff members test positive for COVID-19. As well, there are several others awaiting results from testing. These positive tests will require a majority of our elementary school students to be in quarantine for 14 days.”

The district said it would notify the parents of the student impacted. Due to the positive cases, the entire district will be closed on Monday and Tuesday for cleaning, and officials would rely on the Marion County Public Health Department for guidance and consultation.

On Friday, out of an abundance of caution, the school canceled a football scrimmage against Melcher-Dallas.
