Two individuals at the Center Grove Community School Corp. have tested positive for COVID-19, a district spokesperson confirmed Saturday.
A person at Center Grove High School and another individual at Center Grove Elementary School have tested positive, the spokesperson said.
The Johnson County district sent a letter Friday to all families at both schools notifying them of the confirmed cases. The letter did not state whether the infected individuals were students or teachers.
All close contacts of the infected individuals were notified by the Johnson County Health Department, Indiana State Department of Health or a school district representative.
Students who were not notified that they are close contacts do not need to quarantine, the letter explained.
The district considers close contact to be spending more than 15 minutes within six feet of an infected person.

Students who test positive must self-isolate at home for 10 days and be fever-free for 24 hours before returning to school. If students are sent home by the school clinic's staff with suspected COVID-19, they should not return to school for 10 days.
The affected schools will use a antimicrobial product registered with the Environmental Protection Agency for use against COVID-19 and an electrostatic sprayer system to disinfect areas where the individuals may have been in contact with others, the spokesperson said.
All students and employees at Center Grove schools are required to wear face coverings and do daily health screenings each morning, according to the district's COVID-19 prevention plan.
The plan also encourages parents to screen students for symptoms daily and err on the side of caution when deciding to send students to school or keep them home if they exhibit symptoms.
