PRINCE GEORGE — There’s been a potential COVID-19 exposure to children and staff at Ecole College Heights.

According to Northern Health, students and staff may have been in contact with a lab-confirmed case of COVID-19 on November 19, 20, 24 and 25.

Northern Health says exposure to a confirmed case does not mean you or your child will become sick with COVID-19.

They add its staff follows up directly with anyone who is identified as a close contact of a lab confirmed case.

Northern Health says if you or your child has no symptoms and you have not been informed personally by public health that they are a close contact and should self-isolate – you and your children are not required to self-isolate.

However, the health authority asks you to take extra care to monitor your child/children for symptoms until December 9 th, 2020 midnight (which is 14 days from the last date of possible contact with the confirmed case).

Testing is not recommended or needed if you or your child has no symptoms because it is not accurate or useful when a person has no symptoms.

If you or your child develops symptoms, a health assessment is recommended via your primary care provider or by calling Northern Health’s COVID19 Information Line and Online Clinic at 1-844-645-7811
