Feb 26, 2021 | 5:39 PM

The Saskatchewan Rivers Public School Division (SRPSD) is reporting the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) has identified a positive COVID-19 case in an individual at École Debden Public School.

In a media release, the SRPSD said the SHA also confirms that this case is not due to school transmission.

Once the school division was informed of the positive COVID-19 test result, communication was shared with the classrooms/cohorts, the connected staff, as well as with the school community. Students directed to isolate by the SHA will continue with remote learning. Privacy concerns prevent sharing of further details of the case.

The SHA has also informed the division that arrangements have been made to have a mobile testing unit in the community of Debden. Testing will be available by referral from HealthLine 811 and all walk-ups on Tuesday March 2 at the Debden Community Centre from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
