Jeff Green | Sep 23, 2021

KFL&A Public Health has reported a second positive case of COVID-19 in a student in the Grade 4 cohort at Loughborough Public School, Sunday September 26, 2021.

Identified students in this Grade 4 cohort are now required to isolate until October 3, returning to school on Monday, October 4, 2021. As a result of a second positive case, some students have been identified as close contacts because of a bus cohort, and there is a chance they could develop COVID-19. These affected students are isolating and will return to school as per guidelines outlined by KFL&A Public Health.

Due to the second positive COVID-19 case in a student in the same Grade 4 cohort, KFL&A Public Health has declared an outbreak of COVID-19 at the school. Not all students will be affected by the outbreak. The school remains open and classes continue for all other students.

Families will receive more information from their students’ classroom teachers or school administration regarding virtual learning. Families should carefully read the directions provided in by KFL&A Public Health Notice to LPS School Community. We appreciate everyone’s patience as we work through this situation.

KFL&A Public Health and the school are taking all necessary steps to prevent further spread of the virus both in the school and the community.

Cases in schools must be reported locally and provincially. We are sharing this information with you to ensure you have accurate information. No further information will be released to maintain privacy.

Please visit the COVID-19 Confirmed Cases webpage for a list of current cases. This brings total of current active cases in LDSB to 9 (cases are removed from the website once public health has deemed them resolved and the students can return to school).
