An outbreak has been declared at Northside Christian School near Listowel.
According to Huron Perth Public Health, an outbreak is declared in a school when there are two or more cases of COVID-19 in students and/or staff within a 14-day period, where at least one case could have contracted the virus in the school.
Due to the nature of the school, one cohort could not be identified and therefore the health unit has closed the school until at least December 1st.
Meanwhile, there have been confirmed cases reported at other elementary schools, including Anne Hathaway PS in Stratford, St. Ambrose School in Stratford, and a few private Christian schools in Huron and Perth.
Also, a case very recently identified, related to Goderich District Collegiate Institute. The cohort has been dismissed as per regular protocol. The case is still being investigated.
