Parents, students and staff have an understandable interest in knowing when a COVID-19 positive case has been identified in their school.
In alignment with the
Ministry of Education guidelines, this page will be updated on a continuous basis with information concerning confirmed cases of COVID-19 involving a student or a staff member at the Kenora Catholic District School Board.
It is important to note that a confirmed case at a school does not mean the individual was exposed to COVID-19 at the school. The individual may have been exposed elsewhere in the community.
If public health orders that a class, cohort or school should be closed for a period of time, parents/guardians, students and staff will be notified immediately. Notice of any closures of classes, cohorts or schools will also be posted on this page.
An outbreak is defined as two or more lab-confirmed COVID-19 cases in students and/or staff with an epidemiological link, within a 14-day period, where at least one case could have reasonably acquired the infection in the school (including transportation and before and after school care).
For reasons of privacy, we will minimize sharing personal information about any case and will direct others to avoid identifying individuals.
