John Paul II Collegiate in North Battleford is open today despite a case of COVID-19 being reported there.
According to Light of Christ Catholic Schools, on Oct. 22, officials from the Saskatchewan Health Authority identified a positive COVID-19 case in an individual at John Paul II Collegiate.
The SHA has deemed that JPII can remain open as school safety protocols have been diligently followed and close contact with the infected individual was extremely limited. This is according to the LOCCSD Twitter feed.
Communication has been shared with the specific classroom/cohort, as well as the school community.
The SHA is conducting contact tracing. To protect privacy, LOCCSD is not able to share or discuss details.
Close contacts have been contacted by SHA. Only individuals who are required to self-isolate will be contacted by SHA. LOCCSD asks that people do not contact the school for this information.
“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,” sated LOCCSD via Twitter.
