Three more London area schools report COVID-19 cases

The number of active COVID-19 cases at Thames Valley schools is up by three.

On Thursday, the Thames Valley District School Board (TVDSB) announced another trio of schools with new cases of the virus.

Staff members and families at Arthur Stringer Public School in London, Elgin Court Public School in St. Thomas, and Royal Roads Public School in Ingersoll have been notified and schools will remain open.

"If you do not receive a letter from Thames Valley indicating the public health unit has identified your child as a close contact, your child is not considered to be at risk. Only those staff and students who have been identified as a close contact will be notified and advised to stay home from school and quarantine for a period of 14 days," a statement from the school board read.

The Middlesex London Health Unit and Southwestern Public Health continues to investigate the cases and said it will follow up with those for specific testing advice.

Thames Valley has reported 12 active COVID cases since schools resumed in-person learning on February 1. More details on the cases can be found here.
