New Covid-19 Exposure At Williams Lake High School

Interior Health has reported an individual tested positive for COVID-19 at the Lake City Secondary School in Williams Lake.

School District 27 Superintendent Chris Van Der Mark said the individual was present at the school on December 1^st.

“There were no further instructions to that notification”, van der Mark said, “We did have one recently where a class had to self-isolate, there was nothing connected to it in that way, so it was just a notification of a positive case”.

Van der Mark said other than the notification going to the families that there has been a positive test associated with that community the school is not doing anything differently.

“I think this actually gives a heightened level of confidence that the tracking is working, that the process is working accordingly and the steps that being followed are doing a good job of making sure that we’re not having spread at school sites”.

Van der Mark added with this new exposure that there has been no other request for self-isolation.

School District 27 plans to hold another Virtual Town Hall Meeting with Interior on Wednesday, December 16^th.
