RE: Notice to Staff and Students of COVID-19 Outbreak on Meadow Lake Town Bus E2 (Gateway, CHS, Jonas Samson)

Public Health staff are investigating cases of COVID-19 on Bus E2, Northwest School Division. The virus spreads from person to person by large, respiratory droplets, like from a cough or sneeze.

The risk of the general population on the school bus becoming infected because of these cases is low. If staff or students are identified as a contact of a confirmed COVID-19 case, Public Health will  contact them directly for follow-up.  

If anyone develops symptoms, please self-isolate at home and call Health Line at 811 as soon as possible to arrange for COVID-19 testing. If medical attention is required please call ahead to your health care  provider. If it is an emergency requiring urgent attention, call 911.
