There are now five cases of the coronavirus confirmed in the Chatham-Kent school communities as of Wednesday morning.
Two positive cases were reported at St Anne’s Catholic School in Blenheim on Monday afternoon. A service provider who works for both LKDSB and SCCDDB has also tested positive.
Chatham-Kent Public Health is working closely with the school communities and are contacting any individuals (students and staff) who may have been in potential contact with the virus. Public Health is also contacting all close contacts of positive cases including fellow students and directing them to isolate at home.
The health unit says if you are NOT contacted, there is no need to isolate or be further concerned at this time.
