According to the letter, the individual did not come into close contact with other staff members, and the areas the individual accessed have been closed and deep cleaned.

The schools have been cleaned and disinfected, according to Chancellor.
Boerne ISD:
Aug. 20: Boerne ISD confirmed via email that it has had five coronavirus cases since the district reopened its schools for in-person instruction on Aug. 12.
The confirmation came after Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff spoke about Boerne ISD's cases during a Wednesday COVID-19 briefing. Wolff brought up the cases because of trends that show more positive coronavirus cases among individuals 17 or younger.
Wolff said San Antonio and school districts will need to be ready once schools begin in-person instruction. The Boerne school district has two schools inside Bexar County.
The district said there has been one confirmed case each at Champion and Boerne high schools, Kendall Elementary, Boerne Middle School and Boerne Academy.
The district did not disclose when the infected individuals were last seen on campus or if they were students or staff members.
Bryan Benway, Boerne ISD Director of Communications, said the district is confident in its safety protocols.
"Each time our protocols have been utilized, we have improved on the execution of them," Benway said via email. "We are focused on the safety of our students, parents, teachers, and staff, and are having a great first week and a half of school."
He added the district has nearly 11,000 people between its staff and students.
