Notification of Positive Case
Sunday, December 19th, 2021
Dear parents/guardians and staff,
WDG Public Health has notified us that an 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 its established infection prevention and control measures. Please note a change: Siblings or other children living at the same address as students from this class, will also need to self-isolate for 10 days, regardless if they are fully vaccinated, or were previously positive (less than 90 days).
If you have questions, please visit the “For Schools” section of the WDGPH website: WDGPH Website.
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/ . The identity of the individual is protected by privacy legislation and will not be shared.
