The Catholic District School Board is reporting a positive coronavirus case at St. Bernard School.
In a release, the board says parents, guardians and staff of the cohort have been notified of the news by a member of the TBCDSB and will be in touch further with a public health nurse.
All individuals in the cohort and anyone identified as a close contact will be required to stay home and will only return to school when cleared to by public health.
“Everyone else in the school setting who is not deemed a close contact and
therefore not specifically contacted by public health, would not be considered
at elevated risk and does not require testing because of this situation at this
time,” says Medical Officer of Health Dr. Janet DeMille. “The full investigation will continue to unfold over the next few days. Additional measures and actions will be taken as needed to manage the situation.”
