For the second time this school year, a case of COVID-19 has been diagnosed in an individual in St. Michael School.
In a letter to parents late Tuesday afternoon, principal Dean Loberg said, “We 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.”
He noted Public Health will be contacting parents/guardians of students and any staff/visitors/volunteers who may have been in close contactwith the case and providing direction.
“If you do not hear from them, your child has not been exposed because of the measures that are in place. We remind 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,” said the letter.
If any parent or child has any symptoms of COVID-19, they are being asked to call HealthLine at 811 and remain at home. If medical attention is required, they are asked to call ahead to their health care provider, and if it is an emergency requiring urgent attention, to call 911.
“We will continue to provide additional information to parents or guardians as it is available,” said Loberg.
For further information regarding COVID-19, call the Health Line at 811, and/or visit the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health website at www.saskatchewan.ca/covid19.
