5th case of whooping cough, this 1 at Chelsea High School

Chelsea School District logoIn addition to the four reported cases of whooping cough, or pertussis, reported at South Meadows Elementary School, a new case was reported this week at Chelsea High School.

Chelsea Superintendent of School Andy Ingall says as a precaution, the school district has sent notifications to parents of students at both Beach Middle School and North Creek Elementary School because the district believes “a couple of the students” have ridden the buses.

Parents of students at South Meadows and Chelsea High School have already been notified as per county health regulations.

For anyone with questions or concerns about the disease, Ingall says, the Washteanw County Health Department recommends consulting with your family doctor.

Anyone with symptoms should be seen by their doctor and tested, he says.
