The Limestone District School Board has announced a positive case of COVID-19 at one of its schools.
According to the board, a student at École Sir John A. Macdonald Public School, a French immersion and English elementary school, tested positive for COVID-19 Wednesday.
“Please note, it has been determined that these cases pose no risk to students or staff. As such, no cohorts will be required to isolate at this time,” a statement from the board said.
For that reason, the school will remain open.
The board noted that there are three instances in which a positive case linked to the school would not pose any risk to others: if the person is learning or teaching virtually; if the person was already isolating; or if the person was not present at the school when they were infectious.
The board said KFL&A Public Health is working with the school to prevent spread of the virus both in the school and the community.
