Apr 29, 2021 | 5:08 PM

The Prince Albert Catholic School Division is encouraging everyone to continue following public health orders and protocols.

This is after the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) identified a positive COVID-19 case in an individual at École St. Mary High School and a case at École St Anne School in Prince Albert.

No other details could be shared because of privacy concerns, but contact tracing is underway and cohorts or classrooms impacted by the case have been notified. The students and families will be receiving updates using the Edsby platform.

A press release from director of education Lorel Trumier read, “We all have a shared responsibility to decrease the risk of COVID-19 entering schools. Thank you to everyone for continuing to be diligent in performing daily health screening, staying home if ill, calling HeathLine 811 if exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms, practicing proper hand hygiene, maintaining physical distancing as much as possible, wearing a mask when appropriate, and doing everything we can to keep each other safe.”
