The Altoona Area School District has reported a confirmed COVID-19 case at Penn-Lincoln Elementary School.

According to a district release, a parent of a student at the elementary school notified the district of the positive test Tuesday. The district contacted the state Department of Health, as is protocol.

Paula Foreman, AASD community relations director, said that parents of students in that class were contacted by phone Tuesday evening.
