Two Fayette County high schoolers have tested positive for whooping cough. The Lexington-Fayette County Health Department made the announcement Monday. Spokesperson Kevin Hall said one student attends Bryan Station and the other, Lexington Catholic. He said both tested positive Friday.
“It is highly contagious, and it's usually spread in school systems or in daycare settings, places where kids are gathering and, so it's not uncommon to see this in the schools. Now fortunately, here in Lexington, it’s been over two years since we've had a case in school-aged children.”
