The Grey Bruce Health Unit continues to work with Bluewater District School Board and the school bus company to address a probable case of COVID-19 associated with Kincardine District Senior School in Kincardine, Ontario.
A media release issued Tuesday reported there is an individual with probable COVID-19 associated with KDSS, but public health assessment, to date, indicated that transmission did not take place within the school environment.
The Health unit describes a probable case as an individual with a direct link to a positive case, is symptomatic and has not yet had a confirmed positive COVID-19 test, or has decided not to be tested.
The release continued, "Currently there are no outbreaks, which means evidence of transmission from person to person, in any schools or childcare centres in Grey Bruce. The single bus route involved has been investigated and anyone deemed at high or low-risk has been notified or are in the process of being notified, at this time."
Public Health reminds residents that in all outbreaks and case management, Public Health will contact anyone who may have had close contact with someone who has COVID-19, based on a thorough risk assessment completed only by Public Health
