“Public Health is working closely with the school to identify any close contacts among staff or students. Anyone identified as a close contact will be notified directly by public health and asked to isolate for 14 days from their last date of possible exposure,” stated VCH.
“If you do not receive a call from public health, your risk of exposure is considered to be very low and we do not recommend that you isolate at this time.”
