Nov 15, 2020 | 9:50 PM

A COVID-19 case has been identified at W.P. Sandin Public High School in Shellbrook.

In a media release, the Saskatchewan Rivers Public School Division said, in part, the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) has identified a positive COVID-19 case in an individual at the school.

The school division was informed Sunday evening of the positive COVID-19 test result and communication has been shared with the classrooms/cohorts, the connected staff, as well as the school community, the media release said.

SHA will continue to assess the case as they provide contact tracing and communications with all close contacts. The students and staff impacted by this case have been informed that they are required to isolate until at least Nov.24, and the learning program will continue remotely for those students and staff affected. Due to privacy concerns, further details of the case will not be shared.

W.P. Sandin school will remain open for in-person classes for all students that are not required to isolate. The school’s COVID Response Plan contains many important measures, processes and protocols that add layers of protection for students and staff. School personnel will continue to be informed and guided by the SHA as they manage this case, the media release stated.
