"Out of an abundance of caution, all Carmel Schools will be closed through Friday, Oct. 9," Carmel Central School District Interim Superintendent Eric M. Stark said.
This includes Kent Primary School, Kent Elementary School, Matthew Paterson Elementary School, George Fischer Middle School and Carmel High School.
"If you are identified as a contact of the person who tested positive, you will receive a call from a Department of Health Contract Tracer," Stark said. "In some cases, it can take several days to complete notifications, which could result in a school closure."
