One case of COVID-19 was confirmed at Lord Beaverbrook School in Campbellton, N.B., and another at Riverview High School on Friday.
Public health said parents and guardians will be contacted if their children have been in close contact with the confirmed cases.
“If you are not contacted by Public Health officials, your child should closely self-monitor for symptoms this week and get tested should any develop,” said public health in an email sent to the families.
