North Shore elementary, secondary schools latest with COVID-19 exposures

WEST VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) — An elementary school in West Vancouver and a high school in North Vancouver are the latest with COVID-19 exposures.

“A member of the Ridgeview school community has tested positive for COVID-19,” says a letter dated Monday and sent to families of the West Vancouver school.

“This does not mean they are infected.”

The letter says the infected person is self-isolating at home and asks students and staff in Divison 3, Grade 6 to self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms.

Anyone who develops symptoms will be asked to self-isolated immediately and seek testing.

Families of students at Panorama Ridge secondary, Woodland Park elementary, and Ray Shepherd elementary also received notifications, as are those at Sir Charles Tupper in Vancouver and two independent schools in Surrey — Diamond School and Guru Angad Dev Elementary.

The latter cases all go back to the first 10 days of October.

More than 80 schools in B.C. have active exposure alerts.

More than 125 have had exposures since school restarted last month.
