COVID cases at six Regina schools, one in Saskatoon

COVID cases were identified at multiple schools over the weekend.

In Regina, four public schools were affected.

One person each at Marion McVeety School, Winston Knoll Collegiate, George Lee School and Dr. George Ferguson School tested positive. Close contacts will move to online learning until school returns from the February break on Feb. 22.

There was also one infection at Martin Collegiate, but there were no close contacts, so all classes will continue normally.

One classroom was closed after a positive test at Holy Rosary School. The division did not specify a return date for the affected students in its media release.

In Saskatoon, there is one new case at St. Anne School. Close contacts will switch to remote learning, according to the division.
