The Windsor Essex County Health Unit has declared outbreaks at three more schools in Windsor Essex.

Per Ontario Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education direction, an outbreak is declared once it has been determined that two individuals have tested positive with an epidemiological link (e.g. these children/staff could have become infected with COVID-19 at school, either from each other or a common source).

One of the outbreaks was declared at Mount Carmel Blytheswood Public School in Leamington on October 19th.

The Health Unit said in a letter to parents that several cohorts have been dismissed, and testing has been recommended for the entire school.
