The Limestone District School Board says one of its high schools will be moved temporarily to online learning after one of its staff members tested positive for COVID-19.

The staff member works at Ernestown Secondary School. Two classroom cohorts and several staff members are considered to be close contacts, the board says.

Due to the scope of the potential risk of infection, the entire school will continue learning virtually over Thursday and Friday.

All families have been asked to pick up their students Thursday.

The board announced Thursday afternoon that a student at Loughborough Public School has also tested positive for COVID-19.
