Students in Regina’s two largest school divisions only returned to class Monday and, on Tuesday, a case of COVID-19 was reported at a public school in the city.
Regina Public Schools said it had been informed by the Saskatchewan Health Authority of a case at Ecole Elsie Mironuck School. Remote learning is to begin immediately for affected students, but the school remains open.
Schools in the public and Catholic divisions reopened Monday after more than a month of remote learning. Elementary schools made the move to online instruction March 29.
Also Tuesday, the Prairie Valley School Division reported a person associated with Milestone School had tested positive.
Close contacts are to isolate for 14 days. One class moved to online learning, with a return to school set for May 15.
