Two schools in Woodstock and a shuttered school in Lucan are reporting more cases of COVID-19 within their school populations.
The Thames Valley District School announced on Saturday that cases had been identified at East Oxford Public School, Southside Public School and Wilberforce Public School. Wilberforce has been closed since last Monday due to the high number of active cases. The TVDSB announced Friday that the school will re-open this Monday.
"Thames Valley wishes to assure the community that all staff, parents and guardians of the school communities were immediately notified," the school board said in a news release. "If you do not receive a letter from Thames Valley indicating the public health unit has identified your child as a close contact, your child is not considered to be at risk."
Those who are identified by the local health unit as close contacts of the infected individuals will be required to quarantine at home for 10 days.
There are currently more than 50 active cases of COVID-19 at schools within the Thames Valley district. For more information about these active cases, click here.
