The Health Unit is working with Conseil scolaire catholique Franco-Nord to ensure that all close contacts are contacted directly. As the individual was at École Secondaire Catholique Franco-Cité during their infectious period, the Health Unit has dismissed the grade 9 cohort to self-isolate and be tested. The current situation does not meet the criteria to declare an outbreak. The individual is currently self-isolating.
If you are a parent or guardian of a student at École Secondaire Catholique Franco-Cité and have questions, please call the Health Unit’s School Call Centre 1-800-563-2808 option 6.
If you think you may have COVID-19 symptoms or have been in close contact with someone who has it, first self-isolate and then use Ontario's Self-Assessment Tool to see if you need to seek further care. If you need further assistance call your health care provider or the Health Unit at 1-800-563-2808.
