According to a media release from the Saskatchewan Rivers Public School Division, the case was identified in an individual and the division was informed tonight about the positive case. The cohort, classrooms and the school community have been told as well as any connected staff.

The SHA will assess the situation and contact tracing has begun. The staff and students involved have been instructed to self-isolate until further notice. The students affected will learn remotely and those students are scheduled to return to school for in-person learning by Nov. 9.
