A case of COVID-19 has been diagnosed in an individual in Lake Vista Public School in Martensville.
According to a Media Statement from Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) on October 26, the school community has been informed and the Saskatchewan Health Authority is conducting contact tracing. To protect privacy, PSSD will not be discussing details further.
PSSD is working closely with Public Health staff to ensure necessary measures are in place to protect all students and staff.
“Our thoughts are with this member of our school community, and we hope they are doing well. We all have a shared responsibility to decrease the risk of COVID-19 entering schools,” the statement noted.
Schools are taking many important measures, processes and protocols which add layers of protection for students and staff.
Students and families are reminded to be diligent in performing the daily health screening, stay home if ill, call HealthLine 811 if exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms, practice proper hand hygiene, maintain physical distancing as much as possible, wear a mask when appropriate, and do everything we can to keep each other safe.
