The Greater Essex County District School Board is reporting COVID-19 cases at two more schools in Essex County on Wednesday.
The board is reporting two cases in students at East Mersea Public School in Leamington on October 12th and one case in a student at Mount Carmel-Blytheswood Public School in Leamington on October 13th.
Greater Essex County District School Board public relations officer Scott Scantlebury has said the board does not release information about the number of cohorts or students affected by the case.
The board sent letters to the East Mersea school community and the Mount Carmel-Blytheswood school community.
“We have been working with the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit (WECHU) by providing lists of students and staff who may have been in contact with the individual,” the letters state. “If you have not been contacted, you or your child (ren) have not been identified as close contacts. The WECHU is contacting any individuals (students and staff) who have an identified high-risk exposure with the confirmed case and will give directions to follow.”
