TEACHER NOTIFIED ABOUT POSSIBLE CORONAVIRUS EXPOSURE

LAFAYETTE» A substitute teacher at Centaurus High School has been notified by a cruise line about possible exposure to the coronavirus.

The staffer, who has been working at the Lafayette school for the past five days, finished a cruise vacation Feb. 21, said Carolyn Nohe, communications manager with the Boulder Valley School District.

The substitute teacher was notified Wednesday that there were COVID-19 cases on the cruise, and the teacher in turn notified Centaurus principal Daniel Ryan of the situation.

“The staffer has shown no symptoms,” Nohe said.

As a precaution, the teacher will not be at school through the end of the week, bringing to an end what would be considered a 14-day quarantine.

The staffer at the federal center, which is in Lakewood, works for the Office of Natural Resources Revenue. Like the substitute teacher, the government employee has shown no symptoms and was notified about possible exposure Wednesday.

Denver ONRR employees, as a precaution, were given the option to “telework” for the remainder of the week.
