Corpus Christi ISD notified parents Wednesday morning that some residents may have come into contact with someone exposed to the coronavirus, though no cases in the area have been confirmed.

In a robocall to parents, district spokeswoman Leanne Libby said local health department officials have informed some residents individually that they may have come into contact with someone possibly exposed to the virus.

There remain no confirmed cases of the virus in the area, Libby added.

Meanwhile, city, county and health officials held a press conference Wednesday to announce that there have been no confirmed cases of the virus in the city or county. Officials urged the public to take precautions and said the multiple agencies are preparing for its potential spread.

Asked by the Caller-Times for more information, Libby deferred further questions to the health district.

Health director Annette Rodriguez told the Caller-Times that she wouldn't comment on whether any CCISD school was affected by the individuals potentially exposed to the coronavirus for "the protection of those individuals."

Asked whether schools would excuse absences of students who self-quarantine after spring break, Libby said there will be "no changes to usual procedures at this time, including documenting absences."

The school district continues to encourage students and staff to practice healthy habits, including thoroughly hand washing and staying home when ill, Libby said in the call.

Campuses and district offices are closed this week for spring break and are still set to reopen on Monday, March 16.

The district will use cleaning equipment that provides “higher levels of disinfecting measures” for schools, Libby told the Caller-Times.

Texas A&M campuses are out on spring break this week and set to reopen next week. The Texas A&M System is discouraging students, faculty and staff from all international travel.

It also halted all university-sponsored international travel between March 16 and May 1.

Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi developed a reporting portal for all students, faculty and staff who are traveling abroad. The school is requesting they report both personal and university business travel before leaving or right after they return.

Crews are sanitizing objects like door handles, elevator buttons, light switches and handrails and restocking throughout the day, according to a page on the university website for coronavirus updates.

Anyone who feels unwell after spring break should see their medical provider and give notice before entering doctors’ offices so they can prepare for their arrival, the university said.

Like the Corpus Christi campus, Texas A&M-Kingsville has a web page dedicated to coronavirus updates. Though the campus is set to open as usual after spring break, it’s preparing for the possibility of moving all classes online by encouraging faculty to review a Blackboard Learn manual.

The university’s student clinic used to be a walk-in clinic, but as of last week, students will need to make appointments, spokeswoman Adriana Garza-Flores said.

Per local and federal health guidelines, Flour Bluff ISD is advising students and staff to contact the health department if they travel to affected countries during spring break and/or are concerned about being infected, spokeswoman Kim Sneed said.

At Calallen ISD, which closes for spring break next week, pre-K through fifth-grade campuses have been practicing “stop and wash,” where teachers stop instruction four times a day to let students wash their hands, said Annie Swetish-Rivera, executive assistant to the superintendent. The schools also showed students a video on proper hand washing.

The district has shown PSAs on proper hand washing during its morning video announcements at secondary campuses.

Robstown ISD will also close for spring break next week. Spokeswoman Kelsey Cook said school nurses have been part of morning announcements every day to remind students about proper habits like sneezing into their elbows and not touching their faces. They will also start going into P.E. classes to demonstrate proper hand washing.

Workers will wipe down school buses before and after unloading, and students will get hand sanitizer when they board and get off the bus, Cook said.

During spring break, staff will wipe down all surfaces in schools and disinfect the air handler system, Cook said.

The offices at Del Mar College and Gregory-Portland ISD are closed for spring break this week; spokespeople did not immediately respond to the Caller-Times’ messages.

Anyone who believes they have the virus should call the health district at 361-826-7200 for guidance.
