District News: ​Confirmed Covid-19 Case at Gibson-Neill Memorial School - December 4, 2021

Title: ​Confirmed Covid-19 Case at Gibson-Neill Memorial School - December 4, 2021
Body: December 4, 2021

 

Dear Parents and Guardians,

 

This evening we were informed of a positive COVID-19 case at Gibson-Neill Memorial Elementary 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 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 Monday, December 6, 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
