A case of COVID-19 has been diagnosed in an individual in Weyburn Comprehensive School. Parents and guardians at the Weyburn Comp recently received the notification.
The COVID-19 virus spreads from person to person by large, respiratory droplets, like from a cough or sneeze and/or transfer from surfaces hands to face, etc.
The Weyburn Comp is working closely with Public Health staff to ensure that the necessary measures are in place to best continue to protect all students at WCS.
Public Health will be contacting parents/guardians of students and any staff/visitors/volunteers who may have been in close contact with the case and providing direction.
If parents/guardians do not hear from Public Health, that means that their child has not been exposed because of the measures that are in place.
