TVDSB reports COVID-19 cases at four London area schools

The Thames Valley District School Board (TVDSB) has identified a few more confirmed cases of COVID-19 within its schools.

The school board reported new COVID-19 cases at Strathroy District Collegiate Institute, Lord Dorchester Secondary School, Louise Arbour French Immersion Public School and Stoney Creek Public School on Tuesday. Each school is reporting one case each.

The school board is working with the Middlesex London Health Unit and Southwestern Public Health in order to identify close contacts.

There are now four active cases of COVID-19 at school communities under the TVDSB. One hundred and fifty-three cases have previously been reported within the school board, but have since recovered.

Ontario schools remain closed this week with all students set to begin learning remotely. High school students will be learning online full-time until January 22.

For elementary students, remote learning will be a one week trial with students in Kindergarten up to Grade 8 returning to in-person learning on January 11.

The Middlesex London Health Unit reported 184 new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday, while the Southwestern Public Health reported 67 new cases.
