News 10's "dominic miranda"..

Caught-up "with school district officials" today.

With continuing coverage..

"he explains"..

Why we're seein "the increase" in staff quarantines.

/////// 11 more vigo county school corporation staff members are quarantined in comparison to last week.

There are 16 positive cases involving staff members corporation wide.

The communications director..

Bill riley..

Says the bottom line is that covid-19 cases are up across the wabash valley.

What the school corporation is seeing is not necessarily an increase in positives among staff...but an increase in quarantines.

He stressed the fact that they are asking all staff members to stay home if they have any symptoms. when you add that to the staff absences for other reasons... staffing is something riley says the school corporation is watching closely.

This poses a challenge to run school effectively and safely.

Riley says quarantining is an extremely effective tool to keep students and staff safe.

"if there's any chance that somebody can transmit the disease.

We don't want them in our building.

I think we're going to be seeing this over the next few months, really, where there will be times at a particular school, not because covid is ravaging the school but just because of staffing levels, that we'll need to move to full remote learning."

While this may cause some back and forth for students being in school or remote learning... riley says this is the best way to keep everyone safe.

I'll have more on that coming up for you at 6.
