A student at Holy Cross High School in Saskatoon has tested positive for COVID-19.
The case was confirmed in a school-wide letter to parents Monday morning.
“This past weekend we received notification that one of our students tested positive for COVID-19,” the school’s principal, Thomas Hickey, wrote in the letter.
“This student was present at Holy Cross for one half day during the staggered start early last week.”
Parents of students in the affected cohorts have been notified and advised to monitor for symptoms.
The letter explained the measures the school has taken to limit exposure, including extra sanitation and block scheduling, in which students are placed in two cohorts.
“The SHA has determined the risk to be very low for our school community and there is no evidence of community transmission,” the letter said.
Despite the positive case, classes continue as normal at the school. Students are encouraged to use the daily self-assessment checklist each day before attending school.
On Thursday, Holy Cross will be one of three high schools in the province offering students voluntary COVID-19 tests.
