A classroom at Regina’s St. Kateri Tekakwitha School has been closed after an individual tested positive for COVID-19.
In a media release Wednesday, the Regina Catholic School Division said it had been informed of the positive case by the Saskatchewan Health Authority. The division said it had closed one classroom at the Harbour Landing-area school until further notice “in an abundance of caution.”
Students in that classroom and their parents were notified and the school division said it’s working with public health officials to ensure safeguards are in place.
“Public Health will be contacting parents/guardians of students and any staff/visitors/volunteers who may have been in close contact with the case and providing direction,” the school division’s release said. “If you do not hear from them, your child has likely not been exposed because of the measures that are in place.”
All areas of the school are cleaned and disinfected daily.
It’s the second positive case identified at St. Kateri; the first was reported Oct. 22.
