PRESTONSBURG, Ky. (WTVQ) – All the students in a third grade class at Prestonsburg Elementary School are under quarantine after a student tested positive for the coronavirus, according to the Floyd County superintendent.

The Floyd County Health Department placed the class on a 14-day quarantine, according to the superintendent.

Contact tracing is expected to go on through next week, according to officials.
