Light of Christ School Division is reporting there is another confirmed case of COVID-19 at John Paul II Collegiate.
In a news release Wednesday, the division stated that officials from the Saskatchewan Health Authority had informed them of the positive COVID- 19 case at the high school that day. The school division states they are working with Public Health to inform parents and caregivers, and the SHA is conducting contact tracing.
They are not able to share or discuss details, to protect privacy. The division states their thoughts and prayers are with this individual.
This is the third case reported by SHA at JPII.
“This case reminds us that we all have a shared responsibility to decrease the risk of COVID-19 entering schools. Plans for a safe return to school contain many important measures, processes and protocols. Students and families are reminded to be diligent in performing the daily health screening, stay home if you are ill, call HealthLine 811 if you are exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms, practice proper hand hygiene, maintain physical distancing as much as possible, wear a mask when appropriate, and do all we can to keep each other safe.”
