Third case of whooping cough reported at Belle Vernon school

A third case of whooping cough has been reported at an elementary school in Westmoreland County.

The Belle Vernon Area superintendent has notified the community of a new case at Rostraver Elementary.


Two cases have previously been confirmed.

In a letter, Dr. Timothy Glasspool said the state Department of Health isn't recommending any changes in school operations, but is asking all staff members and families to closely monitor for symptoms.

Anyone with any questions or concerns in the district is asked to contact their school's nurse, your personal healthcare provider or the Westmoreland County Health Department at 724-684-2945.
