In the interests of maintaining privacy, information provided here will not identify the individual that has received a positive COVID-19 case.
A positive case at a school does not mean the individual was exposed to COVID-19 at the school. They may have been exposed somewhere else in the community.
In the event that one of our local public health units advises the Board that a class or school should be closed for a period of time, parents/guardians, students and staff will be notified.
