The Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-Est has identified a positive case of COVID-19 in a Kingston elementary school.
The board lists cases of COVID-19 in all of its schools on its COVID-19 dashboard. According to the webpage, one case has been reported at École élémentaire catholique Mgr-Rémi-Gaulin in Kingston.
This has reportedly resulted in two classes of students having to self-isolate, according to the board’s page.
KFL&A Public Health confirmed a case at the school but did not identify whether it was found in a student or staff member, citing privacy concerns.
This would be the fourth case of COVID-19 found in a school in the Kingston region over the last week or so, with two found in elementary schools in Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board last week, and another identified in the Limestone District School Board this weekend.
As of Monday morning, KFL&A Public Health is reporting 27 active cases. According to the health unit’s COVID-19 dashboard, two females under the age of 20, a male under the age of 20, and a man in his 20s all received positive test results between Saturday and Monday.
