“This is a general notification and does not mean you or your family have been exposed to COVID-19,” the health authority said. “The person involved has been isolated; as such, there is no chance of direct exposure at this time.”
Unless directed otherwise parents are asked to continue to send their children to school and to monitor them daily for symptoms of COVID-19.
As of Thursday there are six Langely schools in total on Fraser Health’s COVID-19 exposure list. The others include Douglas Park Community, Lynn Fripps Elementary, and Yorkson Creek Middle school.
