COVID outbreak at St. Marguerite Bourgeoys School, Regina school boards report additional cases of COVID-19

The Saskatchewan Health Authority has declared an outbreak at St. Marguerite Bourgeoys School.

The Regina Catholic School Division says there are now four positive cases at the school. Two of those cases are linked to each other, which has led the SHA to declare an outbreak.

The affected classroom is already closed and self-isolating due to a previous case.

All other classrooms will remain open, and classes will resume with business as usual on Feb. 22 after the break.

Both school divisions in Regina have reported additional cases of COVID-19 in schools from over the long weekend and on Tuesday.

This week, two cases have been reported at St. Kateri Tekakwitha School. The first was announced Monday with the second reported yesterday.

From Regina Public Schools, there was one case reported Monday at Ecole Dr. A. E. Perry School.

Then yesterday, the division announced two cases at Harbour Landing School.

In each case, impacted classrooms have been closed with students to begin remote learning after the break.

The schools will be open on Feb. 22.
