Regina schools have been hit hard by COVID in recent days. On Saturday, five schools announced new cases and, on Sunday, 16 schools reported 19 cases.
McVeety has had four cases since March 13. St. Theresa School has reported five cases in that same time frame.

Prairie Valley School Division changes
The Prairie Valley School Division announced Monday it had closed two schools due to COVID cases.
Two people associated with Indian Head Elementary School tested positive — the second and third cases in the past week. As a result, the school is shifting to online learning until after the Easter break.
A positive case at Wolseley High School also resulted in students moving to remote learning until April 12.
As well, the division said a classroom at Vibank Regional School had been closed due to a positive case. Students are to learn online until returning to the school March 31.
