The Saskatchewan Health Authority has confirmed a new case of COVID-19 in Carlton Comprehensive Public High School.
Staff and students who may have been at risk from the infected individual were all deemed non-close contacts and there will be no need for them to self-isolate and there was no evidence that the virus was passed on at the school.
With this being the case, in-school learning is safe to continue, stated the Saskatchewan Rivers Public School Division in a recent media release.
“The division is thankful to have such a cohesive team of administration and staff supported by our partners in health,” as stated in the release.

P.A. schools on standby
paNOW the division is standing by for more information.
“We’re a little bit on a hold pattern,” Trumier said. “We know it’s coming.”
As a preliminary step, the division has discussed using large areas within its schools like gyms to host vaccine clinics for students once the SHA is ready to roll-out the program.
“The weather is great and we should be taking kids outside as much as possible, so this I think will be a double win if that occurs,” Trumier said, indicating she didn’t think students would mind more outdoor gym classes.
