The statement issued by the school Tuesday evening said that Summit has been consulting with an epidemiologist from the Pennsylvania Department of Health since Friday for additional mitigation, tracing and response efforts.

Based on recommendations from the epidemiologist, Summit identified and informed students and staff members who had significant contact with individuals who tested positive for the virus.

Summit also implemented quarantine and isolation protocols for students to be used on an as needed basis to mitigate further spread of the virus at the school. Medical staff are monitoring students' health daily.
