Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools is warning some students at Holy Cross High School may have been exposed to COVID-19.
A letter was sent on Sunday to parents warning them a case of COVID-19 has been diagnosed in their students cohort.
Public Health will only be contacting parentsguardians of students, as well as any staffvisitorsvolunteers who may have been in close contact with the case by the evening of Sept. 14, the letter said.
Risk of exposure for anyone not considered a close contact is very low.
The letter does not specify if the confirmed case is a student or staff member.
Parents are being reminded if their child shows symptoms of COVID-19 to call Healthline 811.
At this time, only the exposed students have been notified and are being required to stay at home to self-monitor.
Grade 9 student Taigh Gariepy said his teacher informed his class of the positive case Monday morning. He said the school told students they are trying to keep the block of students and teachers where the positive case was identified, separate from the other block of students.
“They said they are going to be protecting their side because they wanted to talk to the students about it and they wanted to make sure it was going to be safe over there,” Gariepy said.
As part of its COVID-19 return to school plan, Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools divided the academic year into blocks instead of semesters, where students take two classes per block, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Gariepy said he’s surprised to see a positive test result at Holy Cross because of the precautions being taken at the school.
“They are doing a lot to keep students safe . Honestly, it is because of how many precautions they are taking at the school, it’s surprising to hear about a positive case,” he said, adding it’s still scary to have a case confirmed at the school.
“Honestly a bit frightening because everyone is pretty close when we come out the front door, everybody stays pretty close and that worries me because anyone could have been really close (to the student) and it could’ve spread and could get even worse.”
A COVID-19 case was confirmed at a Saskatoon daycare last week.
