THUNDER BAY – Additional COVID-19 cases have been reported at two Thunder Bay Catholic schools, as students prepare to enter a two-week period of virtual learning hoped to curb in-school spread.
One new case has been detected at St. Martin Elementary School, and another two at St. Patrick High School. A bus cohort at Pope John Paul II is also impacted.
The Thunder Bay District Health Unit has not declared COVID-19 outbreaks at either school, with no evidence yet of transmission in the school setting.
Students at all Thunder Bay school boards will move to virtual learning for at least two weeks beginning on Monday. TBDHU medical officer of health Dr. Janet DeMille recommended the step earlier this week in view of a surge in cases in the district, including a large number of school-related cases.
