The elementary school will remain open and those who made close contact with the person have been informed.
"If you have not been contacted, you do not need to stay home or exclude yourself from activities at this time."
"From this point forward, Amelia County Public Schools will notify only those persons identified as having close contact with a student or staff member diagnosed with the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
