Thirty-five cases of COVID-19 over a period of two weeks were reported in Regional School Unit 5 on Dec. 3, according to an email from Superintendent Becky Foley.
In addition to 13 cases at Freeport High School, two were reported at Mast Landing School, eight at Durham Community School, four at Pownal Elementary School and two at Freeport Middle School since the superintendent’s last update, which was on Nov. 23.
Regional School Unit 5, which serves Freeport, Pownal and Durham, has recorded 114 total positive cases of COVID-19 since the beginning of the 2021-22 school year so far, Foley said Friday, more than half of which have been identified over the last month.
For comparison, during the 2020-21 school year, around 67 cases were identified in RSU 5. There are 1,990 students enrolled in RSU 5 across six schools. Attempts to contact Foley for further comment Monday were unsuccessful.
