Cedar, Uplands Park and McGirr elementary schools as well as Dover and Ladysmith secondary schools all recorded exposures in the last week of February.

All are due off Island Health’s monitoring this week, provided there are no further cases.

School District 68 acts as a COVID-19 response team for all districts within Island Health, thanks in part to their experience in dealing with COVID-19 exposure events.
