“This does not mean you or your family have been exposed to COVID-19. The person involved has been isolated. Because of this, there is no chance of direct exposure at this time,” the health authority said.

Individuals who need to isolate or monitor for symptoms of COVID-19 will be contacted directly by Public Health.

The agency asks parents to continuing sending their children to school, while monitoring them daily for symptoms of the novel coronavirus.

Meanwhile, independent Langley schools have also recorded COVID-19 exposures, according to Fraser Health.

Credo Christian Elementary experienced an exposure event on Jan. 8, while Credo Christian High School has exposures listed for Jan. 6, 7 and 8.
