Four schools in Nanaimo, one in Ladysmith and one in Parksville are featured on Island Health’s school exposure list.

Most are due off in the coming days provided there are no additional exposure events at the schools.

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.
