Thom Collegiate closed until Nov. 16 due to COVID cases

Thom Collegiate will be closed for more than a week after a number of students tested positive for COVID-19.

In a media release late Thursday afternoon, Regina Public Schools said the Argyle Street high school would be closed to students until Nov. 16 due to “new and recent cases.”

Students are to begin learning remotely on Monday.

Prior to Thursday, three cases had been identified at the school, including two this week.

Close contacts of the affected individuals are to be contacted directly by public health as the investigation into the outbreak continues.
