A student at a high school in Cambridge is the seventh in the area to test positive for the novel coronavirus, according to the Waterloo Region District School Board.
On Tuesday, the board said a student from Preston High School had tested positive for the virus.
The news came a day after the board announced that four others had contracted the virus.
That number included high schoolers at Huron Heights Secondary School and Forest Heights Collegiate Institute in Kitchener as well as elementary students at Clemens Mills Public School in Cambridge and Williamsburg Public School in Kitchener.
On Sunday, it was also announced that an elementary student at Riverside Public School in Elmira had also tested positive for coronavirus.
Last week, the Waterloo Catholic District School Board announced that a kindergarten student at St. Anne Catholic School had also caught the bug.
The first report of a case linked to a school was reported over Labour Day weekend after a staff member at Edna Staebler Public School in Waterloo tested was infected by COVID-19.
