Archie Stouffer Elementary School students in a Grade 5/6 class have been identified as close contacts of a person who has tested positive for COVID-19.
An April 2 e-mail to families in the Grade 5/6 class from the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge district health unit notes that students attending that class on March 30, March 31 or April 1 have been “identified as a close contact of an individual who is positive for COVID-19.”
The letter serves as official notice of mandatory quarantine, noted as a legal requirement to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and testing recommendation for those children.

COVID-1917 March 2021

Students, their families and staff of six Trillium Lakelands District School Board schools in Haliburton County were invited to take part in targeted testing on March 6, with 69 people ultimately being tested.
The targeted testing of staff and students in public schools was expanded throughout the province by the Ministry of Education on Feb. 1 to “offer an additional layer of protection and help keep schools and child care centres safe,” according to the provincial government by “identifying cases that might otherwise have gone undetected; reducing transmission of COVID-19 from community into schools and within schools; and, reducing barriers and making it easier to get a test in your community.”
