After months of avoiding one, the Quesnel School District has reported their third “exposure event” related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The event took place at McNaughton Secondary School Jan. 6 – 8.
“If your child’s school has been notified of an exposure, no action is required unless you are contacted by Public Health or are otherwise directed by school officials,” Northern Health’s website reads. “Public Health will contact you directly in case of any school exposure involving your child.”
Two other exposure events happened in Quesnel School District in Fall 2020, both at Quesnel Junior School.
