Summary of Positive Reported COVID-19 Cases by Location
The chart below reflects the number of newly reported confirmed positive cases among GCPS staff and students for the past three-week period and is not cumulative. This chart is updated every Thursday by 4:00 P.M.
The content on this website depends on the expectation that GCPS parents/guardians and staff self-report confirmed positive cases. Additionally, GCPS relies on self-reporting or confirmation from the Garrett County Health Department for all positive cases. Therefore, the information contained on this page includes only students and staff who have tested positive and may not accurately reflect the total number of positive cases of COVID-19 within the GCPS community at large.

Coronavirus Tips & Precautions
Follow the advice from the CDC to use the following universal precautions to protect yourself
Wash hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds. Washing hands correctly is the most important thing you can do to stay healthy.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces, such as toys, doorknobs, especially if someone is sick.
Avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Avoid close contact such as kissing, hugging, and sharing cups or eating utensils with people who are sick.
Cover your cough and sneezes with a tissue or shirt sleeve, not your hands.
Stay home when you are sick and keep sick children home from school if they are ill with a fever.
