Positive Covid 19 Case at John Black
Dear parents/guardians and staff,
WDG Public Health has notified us that one individual in our school has tested positive for COVID-19. As a result, Public Health has directed one class to self-isolate, as part of their established infection prevention and control measures. Please note a change in isolation requirements for students deemed to be high-risk contacts, as outlined in the letter. This includes a requirement to isolate for ten days regardless of their COVID-19 vaccination status.
Instructions for household members (i.e. siblings) was also provided in the high-risk contact letter. If you have questions, please visit the “For Schools” section of the WDGPH website: https://wdgpublichealth.ca. As always, custodial staff will ensure thorough cleaning and disinfecting of affected areas in the school, as part of our enhanced cleaning protocol.
We will continue to work closely with Public Health and take their direction as they complete their investigation. Where Public Health determines there was a transmission risk to others in the school, they will perform a risk assessment for any contacts. All students and staff determined to be at high risk of exposure will be directed to isolate and recommended to be tested within their isolation period.
So you are aware, the school board is required to post information about positive cases in a school setting on the board website. You can find that link here: https://www.ugdsb.ca/community/coronavirus/2021-22-school-operations/covid-19-advisory-reporting/.
