WINDSOR, ONT. L’Essor Catholic Elementary School in Tecumseh is the latest school to have a COVID-19 outbreak in Windsor-Essex. It is essential for the students to self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms every day, said Dr. Wajid Ahmed, medical officer of health, in a news release. If you have any symptoms, go get tested. The WECHU reports at least two confirmed cases of COVID-19 in a single classroom. The class had already been dismissed last week as a precaution according to the health unit with the entire class asked to isolate for 14 days and to get tested for the novel coronavirus.
