Information regarding positive COVID-19 case
November 27, 2020
Dear parents/guardians and staff,
As you may be aware, Public Health has notified us that an individual in our school has tested positive for COVID-19. Public Health is currently conducting contact tracing.
This letter from Public Health explains what the health unit and school are doing to prevent further spread of the virus in the school and the community.
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 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/reopening-schools-plan/covid-19-advisory-reporting
The identity of the individual is protected by privacy legislation and will not be shared.
If you have questions, please contact Public Health at 519-822-2715 ext. 7006.
Thank you,
Brent Ellery
Principal
