According to Northern Health, if a student or teacher receives a confirmed positive COVID-19 test result, Public Health follows a rigorous protocol:

• Contact tracing is initiated to determine how the individual was infected and who they were in close contact with.
• We identify and notify close contacts who may be at an increased risk, and advise them to self-isolate and monitor for symptoms for 14 days.
• Only Public Health can determine who is a close contact. Learning groups, friends or other connections may not be determined to be a close contact.
• Public Health staff works closely with the school and school district throughout the case and contact management process to maintain close communication with the school community.

Public Health will contact you directly in case of any school exposure involving your child.
