Covid-19 Outbreak Declared Over

Posted April 1, 2021

We are pleased to announce that Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health has declared the COVID-19 outbreak at William C. Winegard Public School over based on the direction provided by the Ministry of Health:

• At least 14 days have passed with no transmission of COVID-19 that is related to exposures in the school; AND
• There are no additional ill individuals associated with the cohorts/classes who were exposed to COVID-19 who are waiting for test results

There is currently no additional risk of COVID-19 transmission within the school beyond the general community risk of COVID-19. Staff and students should continue to monitor for symptoms of COVID-19. If symptoms develop, please stay home and seek COVID-19 testing or follow the guidance from the COVID-19 School and Child Care Screening tool.

We want to thank parents/guardians, staff and students, as well as Public Health, for their cooperation and care as we have worked together to communicate and keep everyone safe during this time.
