COVID-19: OUTBREAK NOTIFICATION

Region of Waterloo Public Health has declared a COVID-19 outbreak at Stanley Park Public School.

Public Health’s investigation has determined additional cases, two students, in the same cohort as a case reported this past weekend. The identity of the individuals are protected by privacy legislation and will not be shared.

The two additional students have been identified and directed to self isolate.

It is important to note that the outbreak is related to this specific cohort only. It is not a school-wide outbreak. Facilities Services will continue to thoroughly clean the building, paying attention to common areas and touchpoints in accordance with Public Health guidance and recommendations.

Public Health works with the school to identify high-risk student and staff contacts of the positive cases to prevent further spread of COVID-19 in students, staff and the community.
