In a statement, a spokesperson for Fulton County Schools says that they were told Monday at 11 a.m. by the Fulton County Department of Health that they have an itinerant teacher with a confirmed case of coronavirus.
“The teacher fell ill at work on Friday and the staff called 911. The teacher was transported to a local hospital from Bear Creek middle school. There was enough concern about the employee’s status that they thought the employee was having some other kind of medical emergency,” Dr. Looney told reporters. He declined to describe the employee’s symptoms but said they were very serious.
“I can say with certainty that within this process, this particular employee had a lot of contact with the students that he or she serves and also with additional staff members,” Looney said.
