A Pittsburgh Public Schools employee is self-quarantined out of “extreme caution,” according to a statement from the school district.
The unidentified employee will be quarantined for the next 14 days.
The district said the employee has a family member from the eastern part of Pennsylvania that recently came home. That family member is under self-quarantine due to possibly being exposed to coronavirus at a conference in Washington, D.C.
The district said the employee started to self-quarantine before their family member returned to Pittsburgh. It also said there is no risk to students, staff or families.
Neither the employee nor the employee’s college-aged child have been confirmed as testing positive with the Coronavirus.
