Cases of COVID-19 have been diagnosed in individuals in Weyburn Comprehensive School. Parents and guardians of students at the Comp received an email from the Southeast Cornerstone Public School Division, letting them know that the division and the Comp are working closely with Public Health staff to ensure necessary measures are in place to protect all students. The virus spreads from person to person by large, respiratory droplets, like from a cough or sneeze.
Public Health will be contacting parents/guardians of students and any staff/visitors/volunteers who may have been in close contact with the cases and providing direction. If you do not hear from them, your child has not been exposed because of the measures that are in place.
The Comp reminds everyone entering schools to monitor for any signs or symptoms of COVID-19. Refer to the Daily Self-Assessment Checklist. Please complete this before attending school each day.
If you/your child has any symptoms of COVID-19, please call HealthLine at 811 and remain at home. If medical attention is required, please call ahead to your health care provider. If it is an emergency requiringurgent attention, call 911.We will continue to provide additional information to parents/guardians as it is available.
