The Arizona Department of Health Services has confirmed that one of the confirmed cases of the coronavirus is a student at a Queen Creek school.

The boy attends the American Leadership Academy, Ironwood campus, according to a statement from the department. An earlier Facebook post from a Queen Creek council member said the boy is the son of a Pinal County health care worker that was confirmed positive for the virus on Saturday, also has a confirmed diagnosis.

The statement says that the individual was not on campus while sick and that the risk to others not in close contact is believed to be low. The school is establishing more thorough cleaning practices and incorporating "routine hand hygiene practices" into the school day.

The boy's mother was previously identified as a health care worker in her 40s who lives in Pinal County but works in Maricopa County. Her husband also has contracted the coronavirus and is currently hospitalized.

Health officials are still working to identify anyone who may have come in contact with the boy.

American Leadership Academy, Ironwood did not immediately respond to a request for comment Sunday. An online school calendar showed there were no classes Friday and spring break is scheduled for this upcoming week.

ADHS said this will give administrators enough time to "fully implement public health recommendations" before the students return to school.

"The school administration has proactively taken steps to ensure the safety of the families and staff, including cleaning all areas of the campus, establishing enhanced daily cleaning of high-touch surfaces, adding hand sanitizing stations to hallways, and incorporating routine hand hygiene practices throughout the day when students return," ADHS officials said.

As of Sunday afternoon, seven cases were still pending results while 44 cases were ruled out.

A total of 56 people had been tested, according to the Arizona Department of Health Services.
