| Some students and staff at a Roane County school are under quarantine after a student tested positive for COVID-19.
The school system said in a news release that it was confirmed Tuesday that a student at Walton Elementary Middle School had a positive virus test. School officials said the student had not been at the school since Friday, Jan. 22.
