The Bridgehampton School on Friday afternoon announced that a staff member had tested positive for Covid-19 earlier in the day. That staff member was most recently at school on Thursday, according to a message from Michael Miller, the school's principal.
Anyone who had been in contact with that staff member during the last 48 hours has already been notified, Mr. Miller said in the message. It was not immediately known whether anyone would need to quarantine.
"We are in contact with the Suffolk County Department of Health and awaiting further guidance regarding contact tracing protocols," he said.
This is the Bridgehampton School's second case of Covid-19. The first occurred in a student earlier this week, resulting in quarantine for 20 people — 10 students and 10 adults.
