COVID regulations have been modified in accordance with recommendations from the The Ministry of Health.
WHEN A POSITIVE CASE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED, the school will administer deep cleaning, inform the Ministry of Public Health, and follow up with contact tracing. Contact tracing will usually back-track 3 days from the day a COVID-positive case has been confirmed (considered Day 0). However, if the exact encounter where a spreading event can be identified, tracing will take place from that point onwards.
