“The SHA is conducting contact tracing, and we are working with public health to notify parents and caregivers,” a spokesperson for GSCS said in a statement.
The risk of exposure for anyone not considered a close contact remains low, said the school division.
The GSCS says they will not be sharing further details in order to protect the privacy of the individual.
