Confirmed Covid-19 Case at Townsview School - October 2, 2021
Body:
October 2, 2021
Dear Parents and Guardians
of Townsview School,
We were informed of a
positive Covid-19 case at Townsview School. We are working with Public Health
officials to identify any students and school personnel who may have been in
contact with the cases.
Anyone required to
self-isolate will get a letter from Public Health with specific instructions on
what to do next. This letter will be emailed to you from your school principal
or a designated staff member today (Saturday). If you are not contacted,
your child can continue with regular activities.
All students should plan to
return to school on Monday, October 4th ,
except for those whom
Public Health has identified as close contacts and are required to
self-isolate.
It is natural to want to
know if your child may have been exposed to the virus but to protect the
privacy of students and school personnel, other details, including names, will
not be released.
Children and young people
look to the adults in their lives to guide them on how to react to worrying and
stressful events. Parents are encouraged to talk to their children about any
anxieties and remind them to treat one another with kindness and respect, in
person and on social media.
If your child is showing any
symptoms of Covid-19, you should:
Register them
online for a test by clicking “Get tested” on the GNB coronavirus website
(
www.gnb.ca/coronavirus
). OR
Contact Tele-Care
811. The 811 operators will evaluate your child before sending them for
testing.
If you have questions that
are health-related, please write to
COVID-19NB@gnb.ca
Thank you for your continued
support as we respond to the pandemic.
Sincerely,
David McTimoney,
Superintendent
