District News: Confirmed Covid-19 Case at George Street Middle School - December 6, 2021

Title: Confirmed Covid-19 Case at George Street Middle School - December 6, 2021
Body: December 6,
2021



 

Dear
Parents and Guardians of George Street Middle School,

 

This
afternoon we were informed of a positive COVID-19 case at George Street
Middle School. We are working with Public Health officials to identify any
students and school personnel who may have been in contact with the case.

 

Anyone
identified as a close contact will receive a letter from Public Health with
specific instructions on what to do next. Your school principal will send this
letter along with instructions on picking up rapid tests.

 

At this
time, all students should plan to attend school on Tuesday, December 7,
unless they are required to self-isolate. If there are changes to this, you
will be advised.

 

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, details, such as 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
health-related questions, please write to COVID-19NB@gnb.ca.

 

Thank you
for your continued support as we respond to the pandemic.

 

Sincerely,

 
Jay Colpitts, Director of
Schools for Covid-19 Response
