Sep 20, 2021 | 6:42 PM

Cohorts, classrooms, and the school community are being notified of positive cases of COVID-19 at St. Francis School in Prince Albert.

A media release on Sept. 20 from the Prince Albert Catholic School Division stated that the school was notified today of positive cases, however, in order to protect the privacy of the individuals, the division will not be releasing any further details.

“With the rise in case rates and state of vaccination rates in our province and our community, the School Division encourages all families to consider all the layers of protection. Students under 12 are not eligible for vaccination; therefore, our community needs to do what it can to protect our youth. Using many layers of protection is safe and effective.”

In-person classes will continue at all schools within the division.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with these school community members, and we hope they are doing well. We all have a shared responsibility to decrease the risk of COVID-19 entering schools.”
