Vancouver Coastal Health has issued a COVID-19 exposure warning for Howe Sound Secondary School in Squamish.
The potential exposure dates are September 21 to 25.
VCH has previously issued COVID-19 warning for two other schools in the SD 48 school district.
Vancouver Coastal Health issued a COVID-19 exposure warning for Mamquam Elementary School on September 25.
The potential exposure dates are September 11, 16, 17 and 18.
An exposure alert has also been issued for Signal Hill Elementary School in Pemberton for September 21.
VCH says a notification does not mean your child has been exposed to COVID-19.
If you do not receive a phone call or letter from Public Health, your child should continue to attend school. You can monitor your child for COVID-19 symptoms daily using the BC COVID-19 Health Assessment Tool.
Should a student or staff tests positive for COVID-19, VCH said its immediate priority is to notify individuals who may be exposed in the most direct manner.
“This is the most effective public health practice as it allows us to quickly contact affected individuals as well as maintain patient confidentiality,” VCH said.
“When we are unable to directly reach all close contacts in a timely manner, we use other means to contact students, parents and staff, which may include a letter and/or public notification.”
