NANAIMO — John Barsby Secondary School has suffered a COVID-19 exposure for the second time during the pandemic.

The Nanaimo-Ladysmith School District confirmed an exposure at the school on Jan. 29.

It was one of the first secondary schools in Nanaimo to have a confirmed exposure event, back in early November. It was eventually upgraded to a cluster as more students contracted COVID-19.

John Barsby is the first Nanaimo school to have two separate COVID-19 exposure events.

It’s the fourth Nanaimo school in roughly one week to have a confirmed exposure.
