COVID-19 Testing
We have an agreement with Mayo Clinic Laboratories to provide testing analysis. Students will be given first priority for testing. As supplies and testing appointments are available, onsite COVID-19 testing will be available for employees.
COVID-19 Tracing
When a member of the Bethel community reports a positive COVID-19 test, a COVID-19 team member and/or the Minnesota Department of Health will contact anyone who is identified as a close contact of the person with the positive test, notify them of potential exposure, and advise on next steps. Close contact is defined as spending 15 minutes or more with the person at less than 6 feet distance. According to the CDC, an infected person can spread COVID-19 starting from 48 hours before the person has any symptoms or tests positive for COVID-19.
